You can simply place your asparagus in the fridge, and know that it will last for 3-5 days\u2026 However, there is a little trick that can make your asparagus last for about 10 days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Wash the asparagus and trim about an inch off the end of the stems.<\/li>
  2. Fill a jar with about an inch of water.<\/li>
  3. Place the asparagus spears in the jar, cut side down.<\/li>
  4. Cover the tips loosely with a plastic bag.<\/li>
  5. Store the jar in the fridge, and enjoy fresh, crunchy asparagus for up to 10 days!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Asparagus will happily sit in your fridge, enjoying the cool temperatures, for a few days, before it starts to go into decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you have one of those fridges that is excessively cold in certain places, like the back, avoid storing your asparagus there. If it gets too cold its cells will start to die, leading to nasty, mushy asparagus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You should leave the band securing the spears together on the spears for as long as possible, to keep the bunch together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Wrapping your asparagus in kitchen paper whilst in the fridge will also help it to keep longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dampen the bottom of the kitchen paper that you wrap the asparagus in, for even better results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Store in in the front of the fridge, or in the salad drawer, for the best way to store asparagus spears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Following the above method and using a jar of water to store your asparagus is the best way to ensure your asparagus stays fresh for the longest time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
