Description

Asparagus is typically a slender and cylindrical-shaped vegetable with a spear-like appearance. It is light green to violet-green on the outer surface and has a smooth, firm, and stiff texture. Asparagus typically measures about 30 to 32 cm in length and 1 cm in diameter, with a thicker, fibrous base and a tapered tip. In terms of taste, asparagus offers a mild, earthy, and slightly nutty flavor, though the base can be somewhat fibrous.
