Asparagus

Cultural Context

Asparagus has been enjoyed since ancient times, with origins tracing back to the Mediterranean region. In the U.S., it became popular in the 19th century and is often celebrated for its tender, delicate flavor, especially in spring when it's in season. Modern variations include grilling or roasting, often paired with lemon or balsamic vinegar to enhance its natural taste.
