White asparagus is derived from the same varieties as its green counterparts, except its growing method separates it from other varieties, considering it never sees the light of day while being cultivated. As the name indicates, the spears of white asparagus are pearly white, thick and rounded. Besides, their flavor is mild and slightly herbaceous with nutty, earthy notes of artichoke and fresh white corn. Nutrition-wise, White asparagus offers a lower amount of antioxidants than regular asparagus, a result of the lack of chlorophyll. However, rutin, ascorbic acid, tocopherol, glutathione and ferulic acid are all found present in White asparagus along with vitamins B, A and C. As a good source of fiber, asparagus promotes regularity and digestive health and may help reduce your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.
