Asparagus - Pacific Purple
Pacific Purple is a new "super-sweet" asparagus variety. Pacific Purple tastes sweeter, has less fibre and more anti-oxidants than green asparagus. Pacific Purple produces a very high quality spear that is dark purple in colour from tip to butt. The spears have a slightly larger diameter than most green varieties. Dual Purpose - Very tender spears and high sugar content means Pacific Purple can be grown as a dual-purpose variety for purple or for super-sweet white asparagus. Pacific Purple is suited for traditional white production or for growing in black tunnel houses where its low fibre content means the white spears don't require peeling before cooking.
