Asparagus - Related Info - By: Bo Williams

We have created this article to provide you with information pertaining to Asparagus. When I write articles, I like to include as many facts as possible. Very seldom will I distribute an article without doing research. A typical article is written in paragraph format, unlike my articles which clearly display a listing of key facts. The format we use is preferred by many of our readers, because the important facts are not lost in shallow paragraphs.

Our passion is writing articles of interesting topics and we have put that passion and energy into writing this article. Below are the facts that we found. We warn you to not ignore these facts because they will help you. Many of these facts will serve as a good starting point as you continue researching:

1. Asparagus is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 100 to 150 centimeters tall, with stout larissa stems with much branched feathery foliage.

2. The bottom portion of asparagus often contains sand and dirt and therefore thorough cleaning is generally advised in cooking asparagus.

3. Asparagus is commonly known in fruit retail circles as Sparrows Guts, etymologically distinct from the old term Sparrow Grass, thus showing convergent language evolution.

4. Asparagus officinalis is widely known simply as Asparagus, and may be confused with unrelated plant species also known as Asparagus, such as Ornithogalum pyrenaicum known as Prussian Asparagus for its edible shoots.

5. Asparagus grows in most any soil as long as it has good internal drainage.

6. In the UK, due to the short growing season and demand for local produce, asparagus commands a premium and the asparagus season is a highlight of the foodie calendar.

AUTHOR'S NOTE -- I hope you are enjoying this article so far. It should prove very helpful whether your actual query is about Asparagus or any other related topic. After this paragraph you will see additional facts that you may use as well:

1. Because asparagus remain in place for years, advance soil preparation helps future production greatly.

2. As asparagus plants grow, they produce a mat of roots that spreads horizontally rather than vertically.
