Freshly picked asparagus from South Tyrol

Asparagus from South Tyrol is a light product and has many advantages, such as the high concentration of vitamins (A, B1, B2, C and E) and minerals (calcium, potassium and phosphor). As well, the delicious product is delicious and low in calories.

Enjoy it without regretting. However, the asparagus should be fresh and real, as asparagus coming from overseas lose much of their flavour and nutrients during the long transport.
