Workers harvest asparagus in field of asparagus farm in Preschen
Workers harvest asparagus in the field of an asparagus farm in Preschen near Cottbus May 1, 2013. Germans are famed for their love of white asparagus rather than the more common green variety. Some 90-95 percent of consumption in Germany is of white asparagus, which must be grown deep in the soil and dug out by hand.
