ASPARAGUS

Purple Passion


A unique variety that adds a pop of colour and flavour to your meals. Purple passion asparagus has a rich plum hue, and tends to be less herbaceous than green varieties. Because of its higher sugar content, it has a sweet and honeyed taste. When cooked, the vibrant colour fades to a light green, and the heat reveals a subtle nuttiness.
