Asparagus

Asparagus harvesting takes place from mid-April to late June. During this time, you can savour the flavour of German asparagus, also known as the “King of Vegetables”, in Niedersachsen. Asparagus can be boiled, steamed or pan-fried and is low in calories as it consists of 90% water and just 0.2% fat. It is rich in calcium, vitamin E and potassium, which are good for the nervous system and blood pressure. In traditional German food, asparagus tastes great with schnitzel and potatoes. Finish with brown butter and Hollandaise sauce for authentic German food.
