Omelet Making Tip
Asparagus

Green asparagus are the variety we are most used to seeing in supermarkets, although it is possible to find white and purple varieties. Look for bunches of asparagus with stalks of similar thickness. If the stalks are fairly thick, it may be desirable to peel off part of the lower stalk, as they can be quite woody Look for spears with tightly furled tips and firm stalks.
