Asparagus + White mulberry
Asparagus officinalis is a spring vegetable, a flowering perennial plant species in the genus Asparagus. It was once classified in the lily family, like its Allium cousins, onions and garlic, but the Liliaceae have been split and the onion-like plants are now in the family Amaryllidaceae and asparagus in the Asparagaceae. Asparagus officinalis is native to most of Europe, northern Africa and western Asia, and is widely cultivated as a vegetable crop.
White mulberry trees that produce pure white fruit are rare. Typically, the fruits are white when immature, but gradually ripen to shades of pink or purple. They are a small variety, just a few centimeters long, and far sweeter than the black and red mulberries. They have a low acidity and a mild honey-like flavor. White mulberries are best when slightly overripe
