Ever wonder how to keep your asparagus fresh?

April 15, 2010 2 Comments
It is helpful to store asparagus in your fridge with the bottom stalks standing in water.  Similar to a flower arrangement, doing this will help prolong the freshness of your asparagus.
If you are looking for thick asparagus (like the ones in the photo), go to Sams Club.  Looking for thin and delicate?  Check out Walmart, Harps, or Allens Market.
Happy eating!

    Great tip and sometimes I put a wee bit of ice in the container.

    Hi Anonymous (Vicki, that is… ha ha).
    Thanks for the "wee bit of ice" advice! If you look very closely at my photo, there is ice in it! Only it wasn't done on purpose… I was stuck in a back corner of my refrigerator and it froze. And guess what? It did not hurt it!
    Thanks for your comment.

My name is Lyndi Fultz, and I live in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, which span Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.

I like to share small ideas for living simply and eating happily.

You will find that I talk a lot about food because we all need to eat. Why not add little bits of food joy where possible?

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
