Asparagus is not just a delicacy – it's also rich in potassium, which helps lower blood pressure. But should you pick green, white or purple?

Whether white, green or purple: Asparagus is in season from mid-April to June 24 – St. John the Baptist's Day, the traditional end of the harvest. Or, to quote an old farmer's proverb: "Don't forget to eat asparagus for seven weeks until St. John's Day."
