half wood
Half the stalk was white and woody, impossible to cut through let alone chew. The rest was edible but not particularly flavourful. Not worth the extra cost for pretty asparagus.
I was lucky too!
Wonderful rich colour and taste. I bought some purple asparagus from the local farm, and I can honestly say, Natoora one was juicier and crunchier.
Lucky maybe?
Not sure if I was lucky compared to other reviews, but nat at all woody or stringy……only had to chop the very ends of the stalk.. I steamed in the microwave and they were delicious! Bought in the flash sale. Unfortunately I can't justify buying at the original price but will definitely get again if on offer.
Too Woody!
This arrived in a bit of a sorry state, quite dirty and some stems broken. After cleaning I roasted it in the oven with olive oil and salt. The tips were delicious but had to throw the rest away. Impossible to cut the stems with a sharp knife despite cutting a good bit off before cooking. Woody stalls were completely inedible.
Thin .... painfully
These were really long and thin.... not like the photograph chunky... will have to chop up
Squashed
I ordered 2 packs. Both packs arrived squashed as packed with heavy items on top! Salvaged what I could. Woody, not worth the price.
