Selecting Asparagus
Look for asparagus that is bright in color, especially towards the tips (green, purple, or white depending on variety). Some purple on the tips of greens asparagus is fine, and so is white towards the bottoms. The spears should be firm to the touch and not floppy.
How to Store Asparagus
Wash the asparagus then trim the dried out or woody bottom ends. Wrap the ends in a damp paper towel, insert into a zippy bag, and pop in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator. Asparagus is best used within 3 or 4 days after purchase.
How to Freeze Asparagus
Blanch the asparagus by boiling it in water for 2 minutes for thin stalks, 3 minutes for medium stalks, and 4 minutes for thick stalks. Remove with tongs and plunge into very cold or ice water until cooled off. Pat completely dry then put into freezer safe zippy bags or another container and freeze.
