Asparagus starts to appear in April and are available for about 2 months. They can be cooked in water but steaming will allow a better preservation of the flavour and vitamins, asparagus being particularly rich in vitamin C. It is made up of 92% water and is therefore low in calories, provided however that you do not over indulge on the sauce which goes with it… There are 3 types of asparagus: the white asparagus, the green asparagus, which is not very tasty, the green asparagus, which is finer and more pleasant in the mouth, and finally the violet asparagus, which is undeniably the queen. They can be served in many ways: simple vinaigrette, crème fraîche, mayonnaise, muslin sauce, etc…
