520 |a"Asparagus is the fastest growing fresh market vegetable commodity with respect to consumption on a per capita basis throughout all of North America. It is best known (and suited) as a fresh vegetable in the marketplace. However, this crop is also canned, frozen and pickled. The pickling of asparagus is mostly a cottage industry with limited markets. There is some white asparagus produced for the specialty markets by using a process of eliminating light so as to create a spear devoid of chlorophyll. There is increasing interest in organically grown asparagus, although weed pressure can be a serious problem in organic production"--Industry overview, p. 1.
