What does it mean to "snap the woody ends" of asparagus? The tip of an asparagus spear is quite tender, the stalk increasingly fibrous toward the end. Bend the stalk near the end, letting mechanical stress find the natural break between the tender and tough portions. But don't discard the woody ends, they make great asparagus soup!
