How to Trim Asparagus

Rinse the asparagus under cool water. Bend one of the asparagus pieces until the bottom snaps off. This is how you figure out what is the woody and that needs to be cut off. You can break off each end of each spear or you can lay the piece down on top of the rest of the bunch of asparagus and chop off about that same amount. Toss the asparagus ends and cook the spears.

How Much Asparagus?

When it comes to asparagus the size has a lot to do with the weight. One pound of fresh asparagus equals 30 to 40 small, 20 to 30 standard or 12 to 18 large untrimmed spears. So when you are shopping look for the middle sized ones. When you are talking about Capocollo each slice is roughly half an ounce. Depending on the size of your asparagus you may need to adjust how many slices of Capocollo you use and calculate the nutrition information a little bit based on what you are using.
