Test Kitchen tips

In order to keep asparagus fresh longer, place the cut stems in a container of cold water—similar to flowers in a vase. Place container in the refrigerator, changing the water at least once every 2 days.

When buying asparagus, look for firm, straight, uniform-size spears. The tips should be closed and dry.
