Foodie Friday:
It’s National Asparagus Day! Here are a couple facts about asparagus:
- Asparagus has been grown for thousands of years and was even depicted on Egyptian tombs dating from 400 B.C.
- According to writer and actor Stephen Fry in his autobiography, you should never pick asparagus after the third week in June. It’s not proper social etiquette as the plant needs to die down in order to build up its energy stores for the following year’s crop.
- It is called the “Usain Bolt” of the veggie world as the spears can grow a speedy 10 cm per day.
