Asparagus Time!
Even though we have gone to a culture of year-round produce, thanks largely to growers in South America, asparagus is one of the few seasonal hold-outs. I have seen asparagus for sale out of season, but it always looks absolutely wretched, and costs a fortune.
These delicate spears say "springtime" better than anything else in the produce aisle. The Michigan Asparagus Advisory Board calls asparagus "one of nature's most perfect foods," and while admittedly that may be a biased opinion on the part of the MAAB, I have to agree.
