This recipe for asparagus salad with fennel also works well with green asparagus if you fancy this salad outside the asparagus season. \u201cWhite gold\u201d or \u201cedible ivory\u201d \u2013 considered a spring delicacy, white asparagus makes it way to produce markets and grocery stores only one season a year. During the German \u201cSpargelsaison\u201d or \u201cSpargelzeit\u201d (\u201casparagus season\u201d or \u201casparagus time\u201d), the season usually starts in late April and finishes in mid to late June. Thanks to a mild winter, white asparagus has officially hit the markets as of March 18th this year!<\/p>\n\n\n

Since white asparagus spears have never been touched by sunlight, they remain white in color and delicate in texture and flavor. They are cultivated by covering up the shoots with soil as they grow; so without the exposure to sunlight, photosynthesis is unable to start, as a result, the shoots remain white. This requires quite a bit of manual labor to harvest and so the price of the white asparagus is quite a bit higher than fresh green asparagus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
