I am considering dehydrating asparagus and am wondering if anyone has had luck dehydrating and getting good results of rehydrating asparagus? We love asparagus and it would be very good to have at camp with some fresh caught fish. If the results are not so pleasant, how does freeze dried asparagus compare to fresh?
Thanks again for your input.

It didn't pop back up to fully normal size, the way broccoli magically does. But the taste preserved pretty well.
Might help to rehydrate it for a while in cold water before cooking.
