Our Compressed Asparagus Results

So, what good is an idea if you do not try and put it into practice yourself.  I used our food saver to seal a couple stalks of green asparagus seasoned with salt.  I then let the vacuum sealed asparagus rest in the refrigerator overnight, about 12 hours.  The result was a tender and crunchy asparagus more reminiscent in texture to a pickle.  I still believe this technique shows promise with asparagus and other green vegetables, I just need a more powerful vacuum sealer.  These are our initial results.
