  • White asparagus is Zombie asparagus. Id stay away from it.

  • You can cook white asparagus the same way you cook green, but the flavor is more delicate, so you may want to avoid highly-seasoned sauces and stick with something mildly flavored, like hollandaise, mayonnaise, or herb butter. White asparagus is just green asparagus which has not been exposed to sunlight, so has not yet developed any chlorophyll (the stuff that makes plants green).

  • They can be cooked in the same manner. The only difference is that the white asparagus was grown under wooden boxes to prevent the sun from reach them and turning them green

  • No, they cook the same. And taste the same. Only difference is the color. White is grown under bags to keep the chlorophyll from developing.

  • Nothing, treat it exactly the same way.

    It is grown exactly the same way as green, but in dark sheds.

  • they are both yummy
