In today’s post, we are going back to basics. I am showing you how to keep asparagus fresh in the fridge so that you can get the most out of this delicious vegetable. Fresh asparagus has a shelf life of 3-5 days so it is best to take a minute to examine each to find the freshest bunch before you grab yours from the lineup. Make sure:
The spears are straight and plump with a firm stem and vibrant green color. The decorative tips, aka asparagus crowns, are sharp and snappy. There are no signs of wilting or black spots. The ends of the asparagus are moist and tender (not dry and split). The bottom of the stalks are crisp and fresh.
Feel free to keep the rubber band around it so the spears stay intact.
Method 2: Long-Term Storage of Asparagus – upto 5 days
If you want to keep them fresh for longer, keep the spears in a glass with some water. To do so follow the below step by step guide: Depending on the way you cook asparagus, you can store cooked asparagus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
