Buying Choose firm stalks with tightly closed heads. Avoid asparagus with slimy tips or thick, woody stalks.
Storing Place in a plastic bag in the crisper, or stand stalks upright in a small amount of water and cover with a plastic bag; refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Prep tip Instead of cutting the base off, hold the stalk loosely and snap off the bottom. The stalk will break where it starts to get tough.
Using Sautรฉ, steam, roast, or grill asparagus and serve as a side; blanch and add to salads or pastas.
