How to store asparagus
When you are buying asparagus look for smaller spears since they are especially tender. It’s better to choose the sprouts of the same length so that they cook evenly.
To store asparagus, wrap the asparagus in a moist paper towel, then put it in a plastic bag and keep it in a refrigerator salad drawer. Also, you can keep it in a large jar upright with an inch of water, covered loosely with plastic wrap in a fridge for 3 days.
Tip for gardeners: After you’ve harvested the asparagus and planning to store it for several days, leave some of the white, woody base. It restricts water loss and helps preserve the upper spear.
