White asparagus is very delicate in texture and flavor.Asparagus is planted and covered with dirt, so the shoots retain their white color. This requires quite a bit of manual labor to harvest and so the price of the canned white asparagus is quite a bit higher than the fresh green type you see in the produce markets.Since these spears have never been touched by sunlight, they are very soft and tender.Spaniards consider white asaparagus a delicacy and they absolutely devour it whenever it is served.
