Yeah, green asparagus is far cheaper here, as well. It's tastier, too, and easier to prepare.Most asparagus in the US is green, but fancier markets may have white (or purple).
Green.Is your asparagus white or green?
Green.
I'm not sure if I've ever seen white asparagus
I wouldn't know about 'trendy', but it's almost a harvest festival just for asparagus. In spring when it's in season, little kiosks sprout up just to sell the white asparagus, and it's all over menus at restaurants.Is asparagus more of the 'trendy' vegetable among Germans.
I wouldn't call it trendy, since that asparagus thing has been going on for decades.Green.
I'm not sure if I've ever seen white asparagus, and I think I've only seen purple in seed catalogs.
Is asparagus more of the 'trendy' vegetable among Germans. Certain health foods seem more trendy than they are worth here in America, like Kale and Chia Seeds.
Lucky you .... I would love to plant some however my understanding is takes two years before you can harvest .... long time to wait LOLThe asparagas season has come again!
Today we'll have asparagus!
It's also a pretty intensive operation, at least when you want white asparagus. And getting the asparagus out of the ground in one piece is also a challenge, as well as not easy on the back.Lucky you ....

Same here. My olfactory sense has weakened as I've aged. But that might be a good thing as regards asparagus. Asparagusic acid is one of its chemical components. It's a sulfur compound--present in no other vegetable--which is excreted by the kidneys in up to 50% of people. And it gives the urine a strong, unpleasant odor. It's not harmful. But if you're an excretor, you can expect some smelly, sulfurous bathroom action an hour or so after chowing down on the green stalks.I don't know if I have. As someone with no sense of smell.. most vegetables taste the same to me. If it has a good texture I might try some. I do love broccoli for this reason.

How much of a sense of smell do you estimate you may have lost? That is one thing that scares me, I know my taste buds will become less sensitive over time. With someone already born with no sense of smell, the little enjoyment I get from food might be gone.
It's only been a few years since I've become self-conscious about not farting whenever you want in public, lol. Strangely no one yelled at me about it until I hit my early 30s.
