Asparagus (White)
White asparagus has a more delicate, complex and sweeter flavour than green ones; Ranked number 10th on the list of the ‘14 healthiest vegetables on earth’, they are grown in a dark environment, either underground or covered, which prevent chlorophyll production while green cultivars have been exposed to sunlight. Must be peeled off and the base removed.
Half a cup of asparagus provides adults with 34% of their daily folate needs and pregnant women with 22% of their daily needs: Folate (B9) is an essential nutrient that helps form red blood cells and produce DNA for healthy growth and development. It is especially important during the early stages of pregnancy to ensure the healthy development of the baby.
White asparagus’ season only goes from April to June.
