Kitchen Tips
Nutrition

Substitute

Substitute trimmed fresh green beans or fresh broccoli florets for the asparagus.

Trimming Fresh Asparagus

Asparagus spears snap off naturally where they are tough. Simply bend the spear near the bottom end and it will break off at the right point. Or, remove an inch or so of the "woody" portion off the bottom of the stalks with a sharp knife.
