Green and white asparagus (Asparagus officinalis). Asparagus is a seasonal vegetable and is a good source of folic acid,beta- carotene,potassium and the vitamins A,C and E. The white variety of asparagus is developed by growing the vegetable without sunlight. This prevents the production of the green photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll. The sugar content also increases making the flavour much milder than green asparagus | |
