About this product

Purple Asparagus resembles both white and green varieties in appearance and flavor, as its original cultivar was green asparagus. It is distinguished by its violet-colored stems and cone - shaped crowned tips, however its feathery foliage remains green. Its attractive violet coloring is only on the outside of its skin, and the flesh is pale green to creamy white. Purple Asparagus is less fibrous by nature therefore more tender than other types of asparagus. It also has a higher sugar content than other asparagus varieties, which contribute significantly to its preferred sweetness. Cooked Purple Asparagus develops delicious flavor notes of artichoke, barley, and almonds.
