Overview
- Early-season orders from delivery app Flink show green asparagus now outselling white in Germany, with northern and some central cities leaning to white and southern plus Rhine‑Main areas favoring green.
- The company also reports frequent add‑on buys of ready‑made Hollandaise, led by cities such as Munich, Nuremberg, Karlsruhe, Heidelberg, and Darmstadt.
- Regional snapshots highlight white’s strength in Bremen, Münster, Kassel, and Bochum, while green leads in Stuttgart, Freiburg, Mannheim, and Wiesbaden.
- Green spears win time‑pressed cooks because they usually do not need peeling, as only the woody lower third is trimmed or lightly peeled on thicker stalks.
- Consumer guides stress low calories and useful minerals in asparagus, while advising people with gout or kidney problems to limit intake because the vegetable contains purines.
