Asparagus season in spring: Buy the vegetables fresh and store them correctly. Depending on the temperatures of the previous winter months and the existing soil conditions, the season may start early at the end of March.
The more regionally the asparagus was grown and harvested, the shorter the subsequent journey into your shopping cart. If you are still unsure about the freshness of the vegetables, you can quickly test some of thefreshness characteristics of the vegetable. If the stalks already smell slightly sour, they are probably not very fresh.
