Very healthy properties
White asparagus is a typical Mediterranean plant, cultivated since Roman times although historically it was eaten green. Contrary to what many people think, white and green asparagus actually come from the same plant, the only difference is when it is harvested. White asparagus is actually the plant stalks that are buried in the ground and have not yet emerged to the surface of the soil. The moment it emerges, and begins to receive sunlight, is when it begins to change its pigmentation and characteristics, gradually turning into green asparagus.
Therefore, to obtain the best canned white asparagus, the time of harvest is very important, often taking place at night to prevent the sun from altering the product’s properties. Vencerol’s white asparagus retains all its original properties, and is a very tender product, widely used in the Mediterranean diet, with many health benefits.
