Asparagus Day, originally known as “National Asparagus Day” has evolved into a global celebration of this beloved vegetable. Therefore. we shall adopt a more inclusive approach for our global audience and drop the now redundant “National” part.

The term “asparagus” derives from the Ancient Greek word “aspharagos” which means “sprout” or “shoot”.
Did you know that asparagus can grow up to 10 inches in a single day? This devilishly determined vegetable practically sprouts before your very eyes in spring, ready to jump on our plates!
