Exciting Weekend Ahead! Beelitz Kicks off Asparagus Season with Premium Harvest
Asparagus Harvest Starts Soon - Limited Supply Anticipated - Weekend's debut of asparagus - modest stockpiles available
Get ready, asparagus fans! Beelitz, the finest asparagus region in Germany, is set to start its season this weekend, dishing out limited quantities! So, if you're eager to sink your teeth into some premium Beelitzer Spargel, tune in to the action.
"It's gonna be an asparagus-packed weekend in Beelitz!" beams Jürgen Jakobs, chair of the Beelitz Asparagus Association. Prepare for a taste sensation, as the city prepares to serve up just a touch of its famous spears—around a few hundred kilograms to be precise. And here's the cherry on top: the early, high-quality asparagus would set you back around 15 to 18 euros per kilogram. So, remember, asparagus is nature's king, folks, and we gotta love it in its limited glory.
When can you expect larger quantities and lower prices? Well, our man Jakobs tells us that it's all starting mid-April, when the big-time asparagus sales kick into full swing. Prices will then drop like a stone, averaging between 10 and 12 euros per kilogram during the main season.
But, let's also not forget that the grand asparagus extravaganza—the ceremonial start of the harvest—is penciled in for April 10. Now, that's what I call the perfect date for an asparagus feast, don't you think?
Fun Fact: Beelitz is known for its thick and heady asparagus, renowned for its distinctive flavor. And the city hosts one of Germany's largest asparagus festivals, the Spargelfest, at the end of May or early June, drawing thousands of fans of this first-class veggie!
