Question: How do you peel asparagus before cooking?
Option 0: The bottom woody inch or two of any asparagus should be kept. Whether or not you peel the stalks depends upon their thickness. The larger the asparagus,the tougher the peel, and the more likely they are to need peeling. I usually peel the stalks if the asparagus is 1/2-inch in diameter or larger.
