California Asparagus

We are thrilled to announce that the California asparagus has officially started!

California Asparagus- No need to specify, all of our asparagus in house is currently from California. 11# case and pound.

Best showcased raw or lightly cooked, it delivers a mild, almost nutty flavor and vibrant visual pop for salads, crudos, and plates. 11# case only, item # 11230
