HOW TO: Store Fresh Asparagus

Fresh asparagus won’t keep long, but if you can’t use it within 12 hours, try this:

1. Add about 1” of water to the bottom of a wide mouth jar

2. Trim ~1/4” off the bottom of the cut asparagus

3. Stand asparagus in the water in the jar

4. Cover loosely with a plastic bag (produce bag works great)

5. Refrigerate for ~3 days
