Blanching stops the enzyme action that causes vegetables to go bad.
According to my canning book, freezing alone slows, but does not stop the
process. I sort my asparagus by thickness.
Little finger and smaller - blanch one minute
Little finger to thumb - blanch two minutes
Thumb thickness and bigger - blanch three minutes
I don't see much asparagus around here thicker than my thumb.
