When is asparagus in season?
Asparagus is best between the months of February and June, with April being the best time to grab them.
Like most produce, asparagus is not the best quality all year long, so make sure to get some while they’re good.
Which asparagus is best?
Fresh asparagus will be a bright green color with no signs of shriveling or wilting. The tips may look to be a shade of purple, but as long as they are firm, they are good. Mushy and weak asparagus is definitely not the best choice.
How do you know if bacon is good?
You want to look for the signature red color when looking for your bacon. If bacon has gone bad, the red color will start to look like a grey, brown, or green color.
Bacon that has gone bad will also be considerably slimier or stickier than other bacon.
But the biggest sign of bacon going bad is the smell. If it smells rotten or spoiled, it should be thrown out immediately.
