Conservação

Commercial storage guidance for fresh asparagus spears. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Asparagus is highly perishable and must be cooled immediately after harvest to delay toughening and senescence. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Highest freezing point: -0.5°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
