Asparagus tipped to be pick of the crop
The asparagus market is in full bloom everywhere. As trade grows, so too does the need for clearly defined and agreed specifications for the industry to use. A new International Standard has just been published to support its healthy growth.
ISO 20981, Asparagus – Specification and test methods, outlines the requirements and test methods for fresh asparagus shoots. It applies to commercial varieties of asparagus grown from Asparagus officinalis L. of the Liliaceae family, offered to consumers after preparation and packaging.
