Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to eat raw asparagus?
Yes! You can absolutely eat raw asparagus. Be sure it is washed well before consuming and slice off the tough, fibrous ends of the stalks. Thinner stalks are usually the most palatable. Try slicing it thin and tossing it in a lemony dressing.
How do you store asparagus?
To store asparagus, wrap it loosely in paper towels or a clean dish towel and store it in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. The goal is to keep the asparagus relatively dry and cold.
How long does asparagus last in the fridge?
Stored properly, asparagus can last 3 to 5 days in the fridge.
Can you freeze asparagus?
Yes. For best results, blanch the asparagus in salted boiling water for 2 to 4 minutes (depending on thickness) and then transfer the spears to ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them dry completely and then freeze in an airtight freezer bag.
