Spargel aus Franken

(Fränkischer Spargel, Franken-Spargel, Franconian asparagus)

This cultivar of asparagus from Franconia differs from other asparagus varieties in its particularly delicate fibers, mildly aromatic flavor, and low acidity. It is grown and picked exclusively in the region of Franconia. The exceptional quality and taste of this variety of asparagus can be attributed to the region's unique combination of sandy soil, climate, and the expertise of its farmers, which has been passed on from generation to generation.


The production of asparagus is an important factor in the economy of Franconia, and the so-called 'king of vegetables' is thus celebrated at many asparagus festivals in the region, the most famous of which is Nuremberg’s Spargelmarkt.
