Asparagus Looking Good

Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables!  Right now there are good supplies green asparagus with ham and...of “grass” arriving in our local supermarkets from Mexico.  Retails should even be offering special prices on it….There also is still some asparagus arriving from Peru, although volume is now seasonally down sigificantly.

Come the middle of March we should see asparagus grown in California starting to arrive in stores.  This should mean even better prices for consumers since there is less expense with transportation than wilth product imported form other countries.  However, there is currently of glut of asparagus which means the folks growing it are not making much.  If this continues, there ars concerns some of the California farmers may disc under their crops if they’re not making enough to even harvest it.

Either way, asparagus should be a good buy in your store right on through Easter, which is April 8th.
