A paragon of uncomplicated flavor - green asparagus

Even if it was originally simply the second cousin of the elegant, sheltered, always reserved white asparagus, it now enjoys an equal reputation.

This is not least due to its uncomplicated preparation. But reducing it to this is actually completely unjustified. It also has its refinements in terms of taste.

Cultivation: In contrast to white asparagus, green asparagus is also uncomplicated to grow, as it requires neither mounds of earth nor plastic covers. It is a sun worshipper with every fiber and uses chlorophyll through and through to protect itself from the sun.

From this point of view, it is the more ecological choice, provided you pay attention to domestic production, because here again there is the problem that a large proportion is imported.

Taste: As already mentioned at the beginning, green asparagus has a more intense flavor and is also extremely easy to prepare, as all you need to do is remove the woody ends.

It can therefore simply be fried briefly or infused. Even raw, it is an instant star on any plate.

pro.earth conclusion:

We recommend buying directly from your trusted asparagus grower if this is possible. If not, please buy local, organically produced and NATURALLY seasonal, then nothing stands in the way of enjoyment. 💚
