If buying Asparagus......
Select bright green asparagus with closed, compact, and firm tips. Also look for cut ends that are not dry. Select asparagus stalks that are about the same thickness so cooking will be uniform. Thickness does not influence quality. If the tips are slightly wilted, freshen them up by soaking them in cold water.
Storage of fresh asparagus is important. Fresh asparagus must be kept refrigerated at all times. Wrap a moist paper towel around the stem ends and place in the refrigerator. Keep fresh asparagus moist until you intend to use it.
