White or green, the first sight of spring's favorite vegetable truly means that the seasons are changing. With green asparagus, make sure to buy stalks with a bright green color and tips that are still closed and compact as those are both good indications of freshness. You can bend the stalk to see where it snaps and peel the bottom to avoid any woody, fibrous matter. White asparagus, which enjoys nearly cult-like popularity in Europe, never sees the sun which is how it maintains its pale appearance. |
