Asparagus Notes

paragus

Storage:

Fresh:
Keep fresh asparagus clean, cold and covered. Trim the stem end about 1/4 inch and wash in warm water several times. Pat dry and place in moisture-proof wrapping. Refrigerate and use within 2 or 3 days for best quality. To maintain freshness, wrap a moist paper towel around the stem ends, or stand upright in two inches of cold water.

Freezing:
Wash thoroughly. Trim stem end slightly. Leave spears whole or cut in 2" lengths. Sort according to stalk thickness; small, medium and large.
(Michigan Asparagus Advisory Board)

Asparagus is a good source of folic acid, vitamin A, B vitamins and vitamin C.
