White Asparagus from Germany! - 2nd May 2018
The king of vegetables, white asparagus from Germany, now in season!
Why is the
white asparagus considered an exclusive vegetable? Firstly, it
takes three years to grow them. They are grown
underground inside mound of soils to prevent them from turning green and every
spear is hand-picked carefully by the farmers. On the palate, they have a much
more delicate flavour than their green cousins.
In Europe, the
white asparagus is considered a rare spring delicacy and they are highly sought after by restaurants and chefs. Our white asparagus arrive weekly, direct from the producer in Germany, Spargelhof Holste, Marfeld, Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen).
