Developed in Italy, Purple asparagus is obviously differentiated by its violet hued stems and conical crowned tips. Plus, it is inherently less fibrous, thus tenderer than other asparagus types. In fact, its preferred sweetness is due to its twenty percent higher sugar content than other asparagus varieties. In addition, cooked purple asparagus develops flavor notes similar to those of artichoke, barley and almonds. As a matter of fact, the color of this vegetable comes from the high levels of anthocyanins in the spears. Anthocyanins are potent antioxidant flavonoids that have protective and preventative health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
