Roland Foods White Asparagus Spears, Specialty Imported Food, 15 Ounce Can, Pack of 3

Some years ago, asparagus from China were much worse than from Spain, where I am from. Today, this brand, offers me the possibility of having decent asparagus with mayo or black pepper that are not too far away from a good brand in Spain (not the best). I order them regularly.

Earlier this year I bought white asparagus from Peru through Amazon, and it was excellent. The price of almost $30.00 for six glasses was a bit steep, but since I love this stuff, it was worth it. I was sorry to see that it was no longer available in November, and so I ordered the Asparagus Spears from Roland Foods. Big mistake for the following reasons: two of the six cans arrived severely dented. The asparagus were mushy and pretty much flavorless., in addition, the product left a metallic taste in my mouth when I tasted it. They fell apart as I tried to cut them with a sharp knife. I guess there is a good reason why quality asparagus are packaged in glass. I was so disappointed that I threw the whole shipment in the trash. This product should not be on the market!

The asparagus tasted okay but it was somewhat mushier than I like, but then, I like fresh asparagus, so it's not a fair comparison.

This are hard to find at my grocery store, even Asian stores don't stock this on their shelves. I use this to make chicken soup with vermicelli noodles.

I bought it because growing up in Mallorca, there a restaurant called C'an Torrat (go if you're in Mallorca (S'Arenal) that make ensalada mixta which has canned tuna, tomatoes white onion, capers, a lemon vinaigrette and this damn things. The salad doesn't taste right without them, but alone, I'd throw them right away.

Excellent product just a bit expensive Very tender excellent flavor.

When I was a kid white asparagus was easy to find - now it's rarely on the shelves. So I was happy to find this 3-pack. Chilled, white asparagus is great added to salads - Roland's variety is good.

Product arrived smashed and so dented that they cannot be used. I sent this to my elderly parents and they cannot open the cans because of being so dented and do not have the ability to take photos of the damage or to get to a return location. This was a complete waste of money and so disappointing.
