Fresh Essex Asparagus.... No Starch In Sight!

They say that home-grown asparagus has a taste superior to others. That's because freshness really does make a difference. With a high natural sugar content, freshly harvested asparagus quickly starts converting its sugar into starch - spears quickly lose their snap, moisture and sweetness.
Our asparagus is cut on Thursday afternoon, before arriving on Friday morning. We're not sure how others do it, but were fairly confident that you won't find fresher that that!
