About
Asparagus is a cultivated spring vegetable whose trimmed spears pack loosely, weighing about half as much as water.
With a bulk density of about 33 pounds per cubic foot (0.53 g/mL), cut asparagus leaves empty space between pieces when packed. A full US cup holds roughly 4.4 ounces (125 g) of trimmed spears. It is denser than loose leafy greens, but it weighs considerably less by volume than solid root vegetables like carrots.
From Wikipedia
Asparagus or garden asparagus is a perennial flowering plant species in the genus Asparagus native to Eurasia. Widely cultivated as a vegetable crop, its young shoots are used as a spring vegetable.
