White Asparagus

White Asparagus

EverydayFresh

White asparagus is a pale variety of asparagus cultivated entirely underground to prevent chlorophyll development. This growing method creates tender stalks with a delicate, slightly bitter flavor and requires thorough peeling before cooking due to its fibrous outer layer. Prized as a seasonal delicacy in European cuisines, it offers a good source of folate and potassium while being naturally low in calories.
