You\u2019ve probably seen fresh Washington asparagus on sale at the early Farmers\u2019 Markets and local grocery stores. When buying asparagus you might see it sold as \u201cfield\u201d or untrimmed stalks or trimmed and bound with rubber bands. Look for deep green, firm, but tender stalks with intact, closed tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh asparagus can be stored in the refrigerator for several days before preparing, however try to eat or preserve it as soon after purchase as possible. Check these links for more information and recipes. Asparagus can be\u00a0pickled (pdf)<\/a>, frozen or\u00a0pressure canned (pdf)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
