Local Asparagus is Here and Awesome!
Take advantage of City Market’s offering of fresh, local asparagus. These amazing plants are a member of the lily family and are able to grow a spear up to ten inches long in twenty-four hours. First cultivated around 2,500 years ago in Greece, asparagus is a nutritional powerhouse that provides folacin (folic acid), potassium, thiamin, vitamin B6, vitamin C, rutin and fiber. There is a huge variety of ways to cook asparagus, but when it is this fresh, it is even good raw. Locally grown asparagus is delectable!
