Notes
PRO TIPS
If you are not using them immediately, store the asparagus in a tight bunch and with the bottom stalk in fresh water. This will prevent you from drying out and going limp on yourself.
Buying asparagus in season not only makes it taste amazing, but they are also less cost-prohibitive.
To remove the hard part of the asparagus, snap it off.
Shave the bottom part of the stalk to make them softer and, therefore, enjoyable.
