White asparagus Prima
1 kg bundle.
A delicacy for the palate, white asparagus is an ally to health as it is rich in vitamins and minerals, has depurative and diuretic properties and is particularly suitable for slimming diets. Excellent raw in carpaccio or seasoned with oil and lemon or together with eggs, in omelettes or as a filling for rustic cakes, white asparagus is a main ingredient in risottos or first courses in general, and also goes well with meat or fish.
Product Description
The delicate pinkish-white shoots are well-formed, straight, with a tight apex, whole. Thanks to the care we take in selecting them as soon as they are picked and packaging them, they are never hollow, split or broken.
White asparagus has a sweet and aromatic flavour, neither sour nor salty; it is tender and free of fibrousness on the palate.
