Bangkok--30 May--Conrad Bangkok
Healthy White Asparagus Now in Season
Cafe@2 at Conrad Bangkok
White asparagus is a lavish alternative to its green counterpart, and is now being served in the restaurant at Conrad Bangkok – Cafe@2.
Both green and white asparagus are good for you, but the healthy compounds in the white variety – according to a recent study by Washington State University – are an especially rich source of antioxidants, particularly phenolic acids and flavonoids.
White asparagus is also known as the 'vampire of the vegetable world' because it is grown entirely underground, which lends it a more luxurious taste and texture.
This type of asparagus is seasonal, and the season comes and goes very quickly. To enjoy the white asparagus at its absolute best, we recommend that guests book in good time before the season ends on 5 June 17.
