It comes in purple, too
Last weekend some friends are I headed out to an asparagus festival on a nearby farm. We learned about how the spears are grown and harvested, and were able to sample several asparagus dishes.
In addition to green and white, the farm grew purple asparagus, too. They are similar in shape and texture to green ones, but they have a much milder flavor. We took some home and enjoyed them grilled.
Although the purple asparagus have a nice color, I think I enjoy the flavor of the green and white more. Still, it’s always fun to discover new varieties of veggies.
