About
Asparagus is a spring flowering perennial vegetable. It is native to most of Europe, North Africa and Asia. Today the majority of crops are grown in China and North/South America. The 2 centres vital to world supplies are Peru and Mexico who together ensure a year round supply of the crop for most of the importing nations of the world. The delicate stems are havested in the early and coolest part of the day, chilled washed , graded trimmed and packed. they are then held at 0 degrees for as long as possible before sale to the customer. The most flavoursome part and tenderest is the tip of a spear.
