Interesting fact

A perennial plant belonging to the lily family, we consume its thickened shoot, the so-called asparagus spear.

The journey of asparagus

Asparagus season lasts from mid-April to the end of June, so it is worth seizing every opportunity to consume it during this period. Growing asparagus requires care and patience, as does harvesting, which is a rather time-consuming activity.

The most ideal way to harvest asparagus is by hand, after which it is immediately cooled, sorted and distributed. In order for the asparagus to retain its best qualities, it can be ordered 6 hours after harvesting and can be on your table within 12 hours. The reward at the end of the day: the taste of freshly harvested asparagus, which is exceptionally tender yet characterful, similar to young peas.

Cleaning asparagus

1. Soil can easily get stuck in the tip of the asparagus, so it is important to clean it thoroughly, paying special attention to this area. It is worth soaking it for a while, then washing it thoroughly under running water over a strainer. 
2. After washing, the bottom of the asparagus stem must be removed.
   Removing the bottom of the stem is simple: bend the stem until the woody part breaks off by itself.
   You can throw away the broken bottom, you will work with the stem and the feathery end, that is what you will need.
3. Green asparagus does not need to be peeled
4. Depending on what you are making with it, you can cut it into pieces or leave it whole. 

We can make perfect fresh spring dishes from it, such as:

• Bacon-wrapped roasted asparagus spears 
• Layered green asparagus 
• Fried asparagus
