Spring is around the corner and fresh Jersey asparagus is hitting grocery shelves. Here are tips to properly store fresh asparagus from stopfoodwaste.org.
Trim the ends of asparagus and place them in a jar or glass with 1-2 inches of water, just like fresh cut flowers. Keep them in the refrigerator.
You can also wrap the cut ends in moist paper towel and store them in a loose plastic bag. Make sure to refrigerate the asparagus as soon as possible.
