Top tips for buying & storing asparagus
Australian asparagus is available from September to March however they are more abundant during spring.
When selecting asparagus look for firm, bright smooth spears. When you snap the end of freshly harvested asparagus, it should be crisp.
Asparagus like cool, humid conditions. Wrap spears in a damp paper towel, place in a plastic bag and store in the fridge in a vegetable crisper. Or you can store them standing upright in a container with 1cm cold water, covered in the fridge.
Asparagus has abundant nutrients including a range of B group vitamins, vitamin C and potassium.
