Asparagus

Asparagus The perennial asparagus plant is a member of the lily family, which includes onions, leeks & garlic.

Asparagus Asparagus is native to the Eastern Mediterranean. It has been cultivated since ancient times and is now grown in much of the world. The Greeks & Romans prized asparagus for its unusual flavor, texture and alleged medicinal qualities.

Asparagus Asparagus has been called the “Food of Kings.” King Louis XIV of France was so fond of the delicate vegetable he ordered special greenhouses built so he could enjoy asparagus all year round.

Asparagus The name asparagus is a Greek word meaning “sprout” or “shoot. “ The spears we buy in the store are the shoots from an underground crown planted in well drained sandy soil. The crown takes 3 seasons to develop enough to produce asparagus shoots. And then can produce for up to 20 years.

Asparagus Each crown will send spears up for about 6 to 7 weeks in the spring or early summer. The temperature determines how fast it will grown. Under ideal conditions, an asparagus spear will grow 10” in a day. After harvest the spears grow into ferns which produce red berries.

Asparagus The larger the diameter of the asparagus spear the more tender.

Asparagus Asparagus is a nutrient rich food which is high in folic acid and a good source of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin A, vitamin C, and thiamin. It is low in calories and sodium.

Asparagus Most asparagus is eaten cooked; boiled, steamed, grilled or stir- fried. However, it can also be eaten fresh.
