4. Alfalfa Sprouts
Alfalfa sprouts are one of the healthiest vegetables on earth because they’re bursting with nutrients, but once you buy them, you must eat them quickly because bacteria love them too. Surprisingly, alfalfa sprouts attract more bacteria than mixed greens. This is especially true if you leave them sitting on the counter, in which case you’re better off throwing them out. It’s always better to lose a few dollars than to be sick with food poisoning.
