I sure do love me some asparagus. It’s such an easy and quick vegetable to cook I make it quite often as a side for dinner; and you can as well. Scratch the typical broccoli or baked potato or rice that you would normally have along with your steak or chicken or such and try asparagus instead.
Like any vegetable you get what you pay for when it comes to quality. I always go with organically grown asparagus myself. I don’t know if they’re better than conventionally grown asparagus or not, but they are what I prefer. The more important thing I have found though is to make sure that you get some nice thick asparagus. I try to find asparagus that are about the thickness of my pinky. They cook better and don’t become as flimsy when you’re working them in the pan.
