Key Points
   

For the best buy, choose asparagus spears that are crisp and have pointed tops.  Avoid wilted or dried out asparagus. 

To prepare asparagus, rinse and snap off ends of stems.  Lightly steam for best flavor.

To keep fresh, store asparagus in a plastic bag in the refrigerator and use within 3 - 5 days.

Asparagus contains fiber which helps to keep you regular. 

Easy Additions

Chop asparagus and toss in a soup, casserole or stir fry.

Lightly steam asparagus.  Serve with low fat dip.

Broil asparagus and top with shredded cheese.

Remember to rinse all fruits and vegetables before using.
