Asparagus is ideal for those concerned with nutrition and diet. It is low in calories, very low in sodium, a good source of potassium and a source of dietary fiber.
Asparagus starts to appear in grocery stores around the end of February and is available through the summer months. The peak months for local asparagus is April and May. There are several growers in our county if you want to buy some locally- lySelection
When selecting fresh asparagus, choose straight, bright green stalks of uniform size with tight tips and moist bases. When figuring how much to buy, allow 8-10 stalks about 1/2 pound — per person. Bundles usually average 2 to 2 1/2 pounds, containing 3-4 dozen stalks.
Preparation
To prepare asparagus for cooking, snap off the tough stem ends and wash asparagus well in tepid water. Remove the scales because they contain grit.
