whatever you do with them.. soak them several times!
they're full of dirt.

a quick clean:

cut off their green tops and slice them length wise. run them under water, fanning them back as you wash them (do this from both ends).

[quietdomino]

do i cut off all the green??
or just like you do w/ asparagus?

[natashababushka]

i leave a good chunk of the lite green and chuck the dark green, thick stuff.
