White asparagus

It’s always a countdown to asparagus season – the perfect time for asparagus à la Flamande: white asparagus with melted butter, egg and parsley. Hmmm! This springtime delicacy is known as white gold thanks to its mild flavour and delicious aroma. Its white colour comes from the fact that the young shoots grow underground and never see daylight. Boiled, stir-fried, or blended into soup… white asparagus is always a good idea!

Smart
tips

Do not stack

Asparagus is quite fragile, so avoid stacking it. Lay them in shallow crates to keep them neatly side by side.

Dark storage place

Store the asparagus in a dark place to prevent yellowing, as light affects their quality.

Moist storage

White asparagus thrives in humidity. Store it in damp cloths or special packaging to prevent drying out, especially during transport or longer storage.

Growing Method

BelOrta white asparagus is grown outdoors, which means that it grows in the open air in the traditional way. This growing method allows the asparagus to ripen slowly and evenly, developing a full flavour and firm texture. The natural environment in which they grow also means the asparagus retain their fresh and pure character.
