Asparagus Price Questions
- How is fresh asparagus classified and graded?
- The standard classifies asparagus shoots into four colour groups—white, violet, violet/green, and green—and further into three quality classes: Extra, Class I, and Class II. The Extra class requires superior quality, very well‑formed and practically straight shoots with compact tips and minimal rust traces. Class I accepts good quality, well‑formed shoots that may be slightly curved, while Class II allows lower quality shoots with broader size tolerances.
- What are the size specifications for packaging asparagus?
- For white and violet asparagus the maximum length allowed is 22 cm, and for violet/green and green asparagus it is 27 cm. The standard excludes green and violet/green asparagus with a diameter less than 3 mm and white and violet asparagus with a diameter less than 8 mm when packed in uniform bundles or unit packages.
- What handling practices are required to maintain asparagus quality?
- Asparagus must be whole, sound, and practically free of visible foreign matter and pests. It should be capable of withstanding transport and handling, arriving in satisfactory condition at the destination. Harvest is performed by hand or machine‑assisted every one to three days, depending on weather, to preserve freshness.
