LOS ANGELES – Gourmet Trading Company, the leading supplier of fresh asparagus in North America, is offering its Peeled White Asparagus as a seasonal item for the holidays. The company introduced the bagged and pre-peeled white asparagus pack to the asparagus category back in February.
Peeled White Asparagus gives consumers and chefs the added convenience of a pre-peeled white asparagus since the vegetable’s peel can have a bitter taste. While the bag technology benefits retailers and foodservice operators by giving them lower shrink.

Now that the guesswork of cooking white asparagus is gone consumers and chefs have the chance to try something new for their holiday meals.”
