It's that time of the year again! The 'white gold' can be found in supermarkets everywhere. Of course, we're talking about the white asparagus. They taste delicious when paired with butter, ham, eggs and chives. Simple but tasty. And that's just one of the possible dishes. We have selected a few of our personal favourites to share with you.
But before we go to the recipes, we thought we'd share some fun facts about the white asparagus.
Did you know that:
- a stem can grow up to 7 centimeters a day?
- asparagus are said to have a positive influence on your love life?
- asparagus are easier to peel if you lay them in cold water for half an hour?
- they contain next to no calories? That's why they're part of the food group with the lowest calories.
- they make your pee smell funny? Blame it on the sulfurous particles!
