Antiquity Of Asparagus

Asparagus, deservedly favorIte
vegetable, was extensively cultivated
by the ancient Romans, but was not
introduced into England before 1000
In some parts of Europe the seeds are
used as u substitute for coffee. ana Il
spirituous liquor is made from the ripe
berries Asparagus is both lithic and
liurctic. and its roots were once cNten-
sively used in medicine. The young
tender sprouts or stems. from six To ten
inches long. are the edible parts, and
those that are entirely green are the
most tender and delicate. The white
asparagus is. as rule, very tough, the
tips lone being eatable. In some old
recipe books directions are given for
boiling asparagus one hour, but this Is
a great mistake. Twenty or thirty
minutes is long enough to cook 1T suf
ficiently.
