Tips and Tricks

In contrast to white asparagus, you do not have to peel the green version. However, you can only freeze green asparagus unprocessed, as it will lose a lot of its flavor when cooked or blanched. When stowing away, make sure that the bars do not stick together. Then you will be able to remove them in portions. If necessary, it is advisable to cut the green asparagus into small pieces beforehand.
