Asparagus

Asparagus, otherwise known as greenspears or greenneedles, were a type of vegetable found in the Realms.
==Availability==
Places in the Realms where asparagus was known to be produced were as follows:
* West of the Trade Way, the village of Cragmyr cultivated asparagus that they sold to merchants traveling to either Amn or Baldur's Gate.
* In west Faerûn, asparagus was cultivated in the village of Anga Vled and the city-state of Cursrah.
