choice, just some food for thought... :O) :O)
moken Apr 24, 2008:
includes the roots and is normally sold for farming purposes (as an alternative to the seeds themselves). I agree that it ought to sounds appetizing but IMO, this sort of exclusive cuisine also seeks a 'surprise' or novel element. No objection to Ed's
moken Apr 24, 2008:
Hi Noni. I had in fact researched a bit on this too. The prob with sprout or shoot is that an asparagus is in itself a shoot or sprout and you'll find a number of sites that actually refer to them as that, so it might be a bit ambiguous. A crown meantime
Noni Gilbert Riley Apr 23, 2008:
Edward, do please look at this page, an example of "germinados": http://www.productosnaturaleszoa.com/producto.asp?id=5

baby asparagus tips

Since this is going on a menu and is supposed to look appetizing, this is what I would say.
Peer comment(s):

agree Victoria Porter-Burns : Yes, most likely for a menu. I've never heard of seeds/seedlings or any suchlike on a menu, though I'm willing to be proven wrong.

asparagus sprouts

At Dalvay-by-the-Sea, we dined on an appetizer of butter-poached lobster, with warm spring asparagus velouté, scented with white truffles, lemon crème fraiche and **asparagus sprouts**. The Queen Anne Revival mansion, built in 1895, is a National Historic Site of Canada, located at the eastern end of Prince Edward Island National Park.

There is a ton of cooked asparagus salad recipes on the internet and in the cookbooks of everyone out there, but young **asparagus sprouts** can be added to the raw salad for a fresh taste of spring.

asparagus seedlings

Hi Ed, for details and pictures see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seedling

Not to be confused with the seed itself. I think this is the closest you can get without directly saying "germinated".

Good luck!
