Asparagus Bunch

Asparagus Bunch is a season worth waiting for — tender, earthy spears with a grassy sweetness and a satisfying snap that signals genuine freshness. One of the clearest markers of spring and early summer produce.

Look for firm, bright green spears with tight, compact tips and no sliminess or drying at the cut ends. Stand bunches upright in a little water in the fridge to keep them fresh for up to three days. Snap off the woody base before cooking — it breaks naturally at the right point.

Grill or roast with olive oil and sea salt, blanch and serve with hollandaise or soft-boiled eggs, shave raw into a salad with parmesan and lemon, or wrap in prosciutto and bake until crisp.
