The most delicious season of spring, asparagus season, is about to begin. But what’s the difference between asparagus in different colors?
Asparagus is a plant species whose young shoots are cultivated for food. Asparagus is not the easiest to grow in vegetables, as it only produces harvest after three years. The rhizome must be allowed to be confirmed before the harvest is worth collecting.
White and green asparagus are both the same plant. Green asparagus grows on the ground, while white is repaired under the ground as soon as the vertices of the shoots approach the ground.
Asparagus can be grilled, cooked or roasted in the oven. Particularly when cooking, be careful not to make the asparagus from watery and tasteless.
In fact, green asparagus does not necessarily need cooking at all, as it also tastes raw in salads. The taste remembers a little peas.
White asparagus is peeled before use, as its stem is more fibrous than green asparagus. Peeling is most easily done with a sharp peel knife.
The woody base is cut off both green and white asparagus before use.
Sensitive asparagus does not like storage. It is advisable to enjoy the asparagus as quickly as possible after the harvest as it starts to get left quite quickly. It is a good idea to cook the asparagus meal, preferably on the day of purchase.
