Purple asparagus
Lesser known but definitely not to be overlooked: purple asparagus. By growing above ground, it develops its striking purple color. With a slightly sweeter taste, it’s delicious when lightly blanched or grilled. The perfect way to add flavor and color to your salads!
Smart
tips
Do not stack
Asparagus is quite fragile, so avoid stacking it. Place it in shallow crates so the spears can lie neatly side by side.
Keep moist
Purple asparagus likes humidity. Store it in damp cloths or special packaging to prevent it from drying out, especially during transport or longer storage.

Growing Method
Our purple asparagus are grown in open fields, which means they grow naturally in the open air. This gives them plenty of space to develop and full exposure to sunlight and rainwater. The result? A unique flavour and texture that are typical of asparagus grown this way.
