Asparagus is a spring, Mediterranean vegetable, founded by the Romans. Low in calories, asparagus is full of vitamins and goodness, with a delicate flavour. There are two types of asparagus: green asparagus and white asparagus and it is a distant cousin of the leek and onion. Asparagus is eaten when the shoots are young and the buds have only just started to open.

Asparagus is mainly served as an appetiser or a vegetable side dish. The shoots can be steamed or stir-fried with meat or prawns or asparagus can also be used in stews or soups. You will find fresh asparagus between the end of April to mid-July so make the most of these asparagus recipes during spring!
