Saw these at the supermarket last night (right next to the white asparagus). They're larger than green asparagus and purple (duh!). Anyone try these before? I can't imagine they're actually worth the *$6.99/lb* price. Mary
We got purple asparagus here in West Texas. I find them a teeny bit tenderer than the normal green, but so much depends on how they're grown. No I don't think they are worth that price for the novelty. They taste the same. They tint the pickle liquid pink when I pickle them. Edrena.
