Method 1
Hold the asparagus in one hand, and with your other hand, bend it until it snaps. You are looking about 1 - ½ inches off the bottom of the vegetable just where the woody part ends. It should snap off naturally with little to no effort.
Method 2
Line up the asparagus on a chopping board making sure they are all facing the same direction and the top of the spears are equal.
Using a sharp knife, cut off the woody end, usually about 1-1½ inches off. Cook the vegetables as desired.
