Discover this delicious product through the COFRUID’OC brands:
Grows from March to May on sandy soil.
A balance between heat and humidity is therefore necessary to ensure good production.
Green asparagus is distinguished
by its stronger flavour.
Its aroma is reminiscent of artichokes or fresh peas.
It grows in the open air.
And generally doesn’t need peeling.
Renowned for its sweetness, it is often considered to be the most refined.
Its tender, soft flesh has a subtle, slightly sweet flavour.
It grows underground.
And must be peeled.
Fresh asparagus should be kept in a damp cloth at the bottom of the fridge for no more than 3 or 4 days.
In ancient Egypt, asparagus was considered a luxury food and used for its medicinal properties. They were associated with fertility and regeneration, particularly in rituals dedicated to Osiris, the god of vegetation.
In ancient Greece, asparagus was often used in medical treatments and was seen as a symbol of health, vitality and even love.
Asparagus has long been used as a vegetable and medicinal plant, for their delicate flavour and diuretic properties.
Asparagus bends in the wind without breaking, thanks to its natural flexibility. Their fibrous but flexible stalks allow them to absorb the force of the wind, rather like a bamboo cane, bending rather than breaking.
