Dutch White Asparagus Tips from NY Times

Dutch White Asparagus Tips from NY Times

So timely - after writing this post about the white asparagus in the Netherlands, Florence Fabricant writes this short NY Times article about the same (link here). Key lessons:

2. Should be peeled.

Nice, now I know.
