Growing and harvesting

At the grower's

White asparagus are milky white because they hardly see the sunlight (just like chicory). As soon as the stem grows above the soil and starts to turn green, it is harvested. That is why the crop is covered with sand after planting in the field. It takes 3 years to grow into a large asparagus plant.

After cutting, the asparagus are rinsed, cooled and sorted for thickness and quality at the packing station. Shoots that measure 5 to 8 cm are eligible for selling as white mini asparagus. The harvest of the day is then immediately transported to Nature's Pride.
