How to Pick

When selecting purple asparagus bunches, look for firm, straight stalks with vibrant color and tight tips. Avoid any bunches with wilted or slimy stalks, as this may indicate spoilage. 

Additionally, consider the size of the bunch - larger ones may be ideal for feeding a crowd, while smaller bunches are perfect for individual meals. Finally, check for any signs of browning or discoloration, as this may indicate aging or poor quality. 

Choose bunches that meet these criteria to ensure the freshest and most flavorful asparagus for your meals.
