If you want them to remain white, you have to cover them in earth, the farmers make ridges of earth to cover them:
Why would you want them to remain white?
White gold
The only way I’ve seen white asparagus is in glass jars with brine and those are disgusting.
Freshly cooked with egg, ham and butter sauce they are very good.
I raise you brussels sprouts:
I’ll see your Brussels Sprouts, and raise you Cashews:
Aren’t the tops edible too? I wonder how the little shriveled bean thing on the end became internationally popular but the juicy looking fruit on top isn’t. Like, every cashew harvested has to have the fruity part too, what do they all get used for?
They’re called cashew apples. You can find them at asian and latin grocery stores sometimes. Never had one, but i hear they are tasty, they’re hard to transport, though, so you have to be in the right areas to find them.
I see your brussels sprouts and raise you pineapples:
and they are primitive versions of grasses, POALES.
And here I always thought they grew like tiny cabbages
Wait until you hear how closely related they are to cabbages
Peanuts:
Yes, they grow underground like potatoes.
Well but they aren’t roots, they’re from a stem that goes back under.
I can’t believe you just spent an hour hotgluing brussel sprouts to a small tree just to trick people on the internet

if you seen agave and aloe blooming, its because they are in the same orders, thts why thier blooms looks giant asparagus shoots.
Asperagus blooming:
