As many parts of the world are moving into the beautiful season of spring, many different types of amazing produce is coming into season. One of these vegetables is asparagus! There are many different varieties but green, white, and purple asparagus are the most common. This vegetable is extremely versatile in the kitchen and is delicious when grilled, steamed, sautéed, or eaten raw. It pairs well with lemon, parmesan, and peas.
When buying asparagus you can perform a few simple steps when storing it in your refrigerator. Snip off a small portion of the stems and then place the asparagus in a small jar with enough water to cover the stems at least 1/2 inch. This ensures that your asparagus remains fresh for whenever you are ready to use it. With spring in full swing, consider adding asparagus to one of your weekly meals!
