    Brussels can only be called brussels if they're from the brussels region of france, otherwise it's just sparkling wine

          If you want them to remain white, you have to cover them in earth, the farmers make ridges of earth to cover them:

                Unless it's Solanaceae!
                (Potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, chilis, aubergines, tobacco.)

                It's wild how much of our produce belong to those two families.

                  4 years isn't it? I looked into it back in the 90s, decided hell no. LOL, it was suggested to dig a 4' deep trench to plant them.

                    they are buds of the flowering part. we eat the flowering parts mostly, like broccoli, cauliflower.

                    I should find out how this stuff grows. I have no idea how broccoli and cauliflower grow.

                    Thanks for the info.

                        The only way I've seen white asparagus is in glass jars with brine and those are disgusting.

                          Somewhat related story; my middle name is Peter, and I had seemingly misheard it, as for the first 6 years of my life I thought my middle name was pizza.

                                Because they are delicious that way!

                                Freshly cooked with egg, ham and butter sauce they are very good. It's called 'white gold'in the Netherlands.

                                        I expected them to hang off a central stalk. Or perhaps grow like corn, where there's a more plant-looking plant growing with the asparagus inside it.

                                          Aren't the tops edible too? I wonder how the little shriveled bean thing on the end became internationally popular but the juicy looking fruit on top isn't. Like, every cashew harvested has to have the fruity part too, what do they all get used for?

                                          Maybe they are not as fit for exporting or selling so the more profitable parts get sent to US instead?
