White Asparagus has always been known as the "Queen of vegetables", its color is white and the texture is tender and juicy.
White asparagus is white because it is grown without being exposed to light, preventing photosynthesis and therefore the production of chlorophyll.
It is a very common way to serve as a cold salad, this method is fresh and refreshing, with high nutritional value.
It is a rare and valuable vegetable, very popular in high-end restaurants in Europe and the United States. Germans treat white asparagus as "eatable ivory".
It has a thick outer skin that, unlike green asparagus, must be peeled before use as it is too stringy to eat. The base should also be removed as it is too woody to chew.
