White asparagus, also known as white gold, is the ultimate seasonal product. Available for only a short period: from April to mid-June. The best quality white asparagus is the AAA size, extra white and with a diameter of 28-38 mm. Although traditionally prepared asparagus – à la Flamande – is a favorite for many, the culinary possibilities for asparagus are endless. Boiling, grilling, steaming, sous-vide, frying, charring, serving raw. Chefs go all the way to make the most of asparagus season. AAA-size asparagus has a diameter of more than 28 mm, a straight shape, and a smooth skin. To check the quality of fresh asparagus, pay attention to a few things. The asparagus should be slightly moist, not dried out. Fresh asparagus feels firm, has a tip that is completely intact, and makes a squeaking sound when rubbed together. Available individually per kilo or per 5-kilogram crate. Also discover the slightly smaller AA-class asparagus in the assortment.
