You can find asparagus at market for just a short while.
Peak season for fresh, local asparagus is April through early June, so you'll find it at market for a just a short while longer.
Whether it's green or purple, all asparagus tastes mostly the same. But white asparagus has a more interesting story. Amelia Tarpey, Program and Publicity Manger for GrowNYC Greenmarkets, said asparagus is going for about $5 to $8 a bunch at market right now. Pick some up for pasta primavera or a shaved asparagus salad.
