Where to Store

Refrigerator Shelf

How Long to Store

2 – 4 Days

Storage Container?

Jar with Water

1. Keep asparagus fresh by making a bouquet! Stand stalks in a glass with two inches of water and store on a shelf in the fridge.

2. Asparagus can pick up odors from other items in your fridge. Cover it with a breathable bag to keep it smelling as fresh as it tastes.

3. Asparagus stalks stay fresh longer than the tops. Trim tired tops, and salvage the rest!

 
Tips for Guide
Perfect Every Time

Fresh asparagus tastes great when tossed with olive oil, salt & pepper then cooked according to the times and methods below:

Roasted: About 10 minutes at 425℉ (make sure to leave enough space in between so that they bake instead of steam)

Sauté: About 2 minutes in a hot pan

Grilled: 6 - 9 minutes over medium heat

Blanched: 1 minute in salted boiling water, 1 minute in ice bath, then patted dry.

Snap Decision

A fun and easy way to remove the woody ends of asparagus is to hold the top half of an individual stalk in one hand and then use the thumb and index finger of your other hand to bend about an inch up from the bottom. The stalk will snap at its natural breaking point.

Make An Asparagus Bouquet

Keep your stalks fresh! Stand them up in a container filled with about two inches of water and store on a shelf in your fridge for 2 - 4 days.
