How to Buy Asparagus
Asparagus are sold in groups of stalks bundled together. When buying asparagus:
- Look for: Asparagus with firm, crisp stalks; compact, brightly colored head with no traces of rust, and stalks of similar sizes, which will help ensure even cooking
- Avoid: Yellowish asparagus with soft stalks and heads that are beginning to flower, which are signs of age
