Tops Markets, LLC All rights reserved Privacy Policy Asparagus General Information White and green asparagus are available in our markets today.
White asparagus has a stronger more earthy taste.
Size does not influence the quality of the asparagus, but is a matter of preference. The size of the stalk has no relationship to tenderness. Whether thick or thin, select asparagus with firm, straight stalks. Stalks should be fresh-looking, with closed, compact tips. Open tips are a sign of over-maturity.
