This can extend its freshness for up to a week.
However, the sooner you eat it, the better the flavor and texture, Sheppard says.
Where you store asparagus in the fridge matters.
Dont store asparagus near ethylene-producing produce such asapples,bananas, andtomatoes.
Pat dry, then freeze the asparagus on a cookie sheet in a single layer.
Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight freezer bag.
Sheppard says, This keeps the texture and flavor intact for several months.
