You've never tasted asparagus this good.
Springtime - when a food lover's fancy turns to thoughts of
plump strawberries, fresh Pacific halibut, elegant Easter and Passover feasts... and thick, flavorful Mister Spear
Asparagus, available exclusively at Balducci's. Many people look for the slim spears, believing they will have more flavor, but it's actually the larger ones, like Mister Spear, that can boast of the highest quality taste.
This incredible California-grown asparagus is unusually thick and sweet because it is picked at just the right moment and then shipped to us in special crates that enable it to keep growing and ripening during the four days of transit. Some customers even eat it as a snack! It was first brought to the East Coast by President Reagan, who made arrangements to ship it to the White House through us. Today, we're still the only ones who are entrusted to carry it. Buy some today to grace your holiday table.
