How To Store Asparagus

Store asparagus in the refrigerator, with the ends wrapped in a slightly moist paper towel. Alternatively, you can keep them tied in a bundle and stand them upright in a glass of water, with 1 to 2 inches of water at the base. Cover them loosely in a plastic bag. They should keep well for about one week.
