Postharvest management of asparagus.

In order to avoid loss of vitamin and sugar content in harvested asparagus and preserve an attractive appearance, spears should be sprayed with cold water to reduce the temperature to around 3 deg C as soon as possible after picking. They are then tied in bundles and the tips encased in plastic to avoid damage. Although, ideally asparagus should be sold and consumed as quickly as possible, bundles can be stores for up to 3 weeks at low temperature (4-5 deg C). Below 3 deg C, cold damage will occur. A low oxygen environment to reduce respiration is desirable.
