Asparagus, scientific name stone cypress, belongs to the genus Asparton in the family Liliaceae, and is a perennial herb, dioecious plant. The edible part is its young stem, because its shape is similar to the young buds and bamboo shoots of reeds, so most of us call it asparagus.
Young stems that are not harvested when they can be harvested will grow into stems and leaves in the upper part of the ground. In the previously written article about asparagus, some readers commented that the original white asparagus was mainly used for export. After my detailed review of the information, I came to the following conclusion: asparagus is divided into white asparagus and green asparagus, while white is mainly used to make canned asparagus, generally for export export. In this way, not only the freshness of the asparagus is guaranteed, but also suitable for long-distance transportation. For example, the asparagus of the "flywheel" brand produced in Shandong at that time was well recognized in the market and welcomed by the majority of overseas consumers. But at the same time I found black asparagus, which is really amazing?

At present, the sales in the domestic market are generally green asparagus, and the sales market is not very good, and the public's recognition of it is not good. Therefore, the planting area is small and the price is higher.
Green asparagus, if you do not harvest the young stems at this time, then they will grow into the following state

Asparagus is actually not only a vegetable but more importantly, it has certain health benefits, in fact, it has a good recognition in overseas markets because of its important medicinal value.
I briefly discuss the medicinal value to encourage everyone to eat more asparagus and eat scientifically. Because some readers have mentioned before that the taste of asparagus is not very good, in fact, we Chinese generally have a eating habit of eating something to eat is delicious, and foreign eating habits are basically more emphasis on nutrition, especially for some families with better living standards, which pursue nutritional quality.
Long-term consumption of asparagus can eliminate the fatigue symptoms of the human body, and has a good therapeutic effect on high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, cystitis and other diseases, and more importantly, asparagus has an anti-cancer effect. Long-term consumption can increase appetite, promote digestion, improve immunity and reduce the toxicity of harmful substances, thus preventing the occurrence of cancer.
Let's simply add a little knowledge of black asparagus to the following small editor, and everyone is about to charge the brain:
In fact, black asparagus refers to purple asparagus, which is also a kind of sweet purple asparagus, a very valuable vegetable, and the only asparagus vegetable that can be eaten raw. It is also the preferred anti-cancer and anti-cancer food, which is sold well in some countries in Europe, Japan and Southeast Asia.
