Asparagus are plants that grow for several years, and can also only be harvested in the third year. More than 200 species make up the family of asparagus. The white stumps are the edible part of the plant. Scales emerge from the leaves. Because it grows underground and is protected from the sun’s rays are, they do not produce dyes. This creates the white color. The taste of this variety of asparagus is delicate and mild.
