Asparagus comes from the lily family, and today there are over 300 types of asparagus, of which only 20 are edible. In addition to green asparagus that can grow up to 20 centimeters in height, there are also white asparagus that are much more expensive, they are kept covered from the sun to prevent the formation of chlorophyll that gives asparagus its green color. Much rarer are purple asparagus, which taste like fruit and are tastiest fresh, while they lose their purple color when cooked.
