Asparagus
Asparagus is a perennial flowering plant belonging to the Lily family. It is famous for its tender, spear-shaped shoots all over the world harvested in the spring. These spears are sharp, but with a mild, grassy flavor, which can be grilled, steamed, or roasted. Green asparagus is the most common variety, but white and purple variants are also present, each giving different flavors. Asparagus is known as a nutritional powerhouse and has been valued since ancient times for its health-promoting properties.
