White asparagus, often called white gold, is THE vegetable of the Germans. There are more myths and anecdotes about no other vegetable than about asparagus. There are over 200 different varieties in total, but only a few are edible. It has been known for thousands of years and was considered a delicacy in ancient times. But white asparagus was only discovered by chance in the 19th century. Asparagus sprouts were covered to protect them from animals. Due to the resulting lack of light, the asparagus did not form chlorophyll and remained white. The much more delicate and finer-tasting white asparagus quickly found many fans, so that almost only white asparagus is grown in Germany.

Before asparagus was used as a food, it was a popular medicinal plant. In China, Egypt and Greece, asparagus was used as a remedy for coughs, bladder problems and ulcers. The asparagus "Asparagus racemosus", which is native to India, means "healer of a hundred diseases".
