Food In Season: ASPARAGUS

Beloved friends for more than 2,000 years, asparagus has been called the food of kings. With only 25 calories for 5 spears, it is an excellent source of vitamin K, C and A, as well as folate.
Selection - Make sure all the spears in the bunch are the same thickness so they will cook evenly. Tips should be dark green or purple and firm, not wet. Avoid any with woody ends.
Storage - Undo the bunches, trim ends and wrap in damp paper towels. Refrigerate in a loose plastic bag for up to 4 days.

Have a fantastic week everyone!
