GMO free: Our partner growers and processors have assured us of no genetically modified crops. Please note we do not perform laboratory testing as we do not know of a scientifically approved procedure.

Customer Reviews
This is another excellent product (see my review of the green beans) that exceeded my expectations. The product looks exactly as pictured, and tastes great "as is", or re-hydrated and cooked like frozen asparagus. A note on density: I ordered a 15 pound box (now 10 pounds for sale on website), and it filled 6 of the standard 6-gallon buckets with 8 quart jars left over. I think for 10 pounds, it would fill on the order of 4 of the standard 6-gallon buckets.

Easy to Prepare
- Use alone as a dry snack or add to veggie trail mixes.
- Add dry for a crunchy effect in salads and, while serving, cooked rice and cooked pasta.
- Add dry during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking soups that have sufficient broth.
- For most other applications, hydrate by soaking for 5-10 minutes in a generous amount of cold or hot water (hot water works slightly better). Then drain.
Yield — 1 oz equals about 2-3/4 cups dry with less than 4% moisture content. Fresh weight replacement ratio is 1 to 16 (freeze dried to fresh prepared).
Storage — Tastes best if used within 24 months of purchase. Store tightly sealed and minimize exposure to heat and humidity.
