Green asparagus
Green asparagus, crunchy and vegetal, the star of spring menus.
Green asparagus develops in the light, which gives it its colour and a more pronounced vegetal flavour than white asparagus. It generally needs no peeling and stays crunchy when cooked. It can be poached, grilled, roasted or served raw in thin slices.
