Cleaning Asparagus requires different approach from other vegetables. Firstly, don't immerse the asparagus in water. A lot of vegetbles require you to wash them first. But with asparagus its different. Hold the stalks beneath the running water. Rub them together but avoid doing it roughly. To clean the tips, you should turn the spears upside down. You can eat the thin spears. It is required to cut a small portion of the ends. While cleaning asparagus of this type, the spears need to be sliced at the hard sections.It is up to you to keep it or cut it. Some may require the spears to be there, while others do not need them. Peeling is not done usually.

Asparagus spears can be pickled, frozen or canned. Pickling helps the asparagus spears to maintain a consistent, firm texture.
