White asparagus, Germany's most anticipated seasonal vegetable. Cologne Brauhäuser and brasseries build full Spargel menus around it from late April to St John's Day on 24 June.
White asparagus is grown under mounded earth to prevent sunlight reaching the spears, keeping them pale and tender. The German season runs from late April to 24 June (St John's Day) when growers traditionally stop cutting to let the plants recover. Cologne's Brauhäuser and Brasserien run full Spargel menus during the window, often pairing the asparagus with butter sauce, new potatoes, and either smoked ham (Schinken) or Wiener schnitzel.
