- To store. To store your asparagus, keep it in a covered container or airtight bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want it to last longer, wrap the ends of your stalks in a damp paper towel.
- To reheat. The best way to reheat your asparagus is to rehydrate it with some olive oil and wrap it in foil before reheating. Leave a small amount of air in the foil when you wrap it up and reheat it on the grill or in the oven for 3-5 minutes.
