Where hotel rooms require room keys for power, toilets have water-saving flushing options and smart cars and bicycles abound, Berlin packs it in when it comes to going green. But there is one highly esteemed vegetable that our friends in Berlin enjoy sans verde–White Asparagus.
Opera Italiana is found serving up Italian fare in Berlin’s Charlottenburg area. There, I partook in yet another dish of white asparagus. This perennial favorite will definitely keep you coming back. Dining menus all over had some feature of the vegetable shoot , including a creamy white asparagus soup that I consumed–simply divine!

The lack of color in this form of the long stalky vegetable is due to a lack of sun during its growing season. No chlorophyll, no green. While most Americans may rarely see this bleach-blond version of asparagus in their local produce aisle, German farmer’s markets have their shelves fully stocked during the spring season.
