Mini white asparagus 110g

The mini white asparagus 110g is a delicate and mild-flavored vegetable prized for its tender texture and subtle sweetness. They grow underground to prevent exposure to sunlight, resulting in its pale color. Compared to green asparagus, white asparagus tends to be less bitter and more tender, with a slightly sweeter taste. It is often considered a delicacy and is enjoyed in a variety of dishes, such as salads, soups, and side dishes.

The specific variety of asparagus known as white asparagus is traditionally cultivated in regions with cooler climates, where the spears are grown underground to prevent exposure to sunlight, resulting in their distinctive pale color.

Instructions for use

Here are some ideas for cooking and serving white asparagus:

  1. Serve cold: with mayonnaise, tartar sauce or dressing
  2. Salads: Toss cooked mini white asparagus with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and your favorite vinaigrette for a refreshing salad. You can also add proteins like grilled chicken, boiled eggs, or smoked salmon for a heartier meal.
  3. Appetizers: Wrap cooked mini white asparagus in slices of prosciutto or smoked salmon for an elegant appetizer. Serve them cold or lightly grilled for added flavor.
  4. Pasta dishes: Incorporate cooked mini white asparagus into pasta dishes such as creamy fettuccine Alfredo or light lemony spaghetti. They add a subtle sweetness and a tender texture to the pasta.
  5. Quiches and tarts: Use cooked mini white asparagus as a topping for quiches, tarts, or savory pies. Pair them with cheese, herbs, and eggs for a delicious and visually appealing dish.
  6. Side dish: Serve cooked mini white asparagus as a simple side dish alongside grilled meats, fish, or poultry. Season them with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness, or accompany them with melted butter or Dutch cream
  7. Cream soups: Use white asparagus to make a creamy soup by simmering it with onions, garlic, vegetable broth, and cream until tender, then blending until smooth. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and herbs, and serve hot with crusty bread.
