Usage
Raw in salads; Steamed or microwaved.
Selection
High quality asparagus has tender stalks that are nearly completely green (except for the white asparagus variety).
Tender stalks will usually be medium-sized and the tips will be firmly closed. Do not skip buying asparagus simply because the stalks are fairly thick – simply peel and cook as you normally would!
Avoid
Avoid asparagus with wrinkled stalks and wilted tips. Also avoid stalks that are too thin.
Storage
If possible, store asparagus upright in a shallow pan in your refrigerator with only the freshly cut stalk sitting in a little bit of water. Make sure the tips do not get wet.
Ripening
In general, vegetables will not ripen further after harvest.
