WHITE GARLIC: Plump and robust garlic from the Drôme looks appetising. Second to none for embellishing dishes, garlic also possesses preventative properties: helping increase circulation and, once the centre shoot removed, is said to help digestion and benefit health.

ASPARAGUS: Asparagus grows well in the Drôme. Production is mainly concentrated in the Saint-Donat area, the Tricastin and the Nyonsais.

Asparagus is a sophisticated vegetable, lending itself to a number of forms of preparation in the kitchen and containing vitamins and mineral salts. Whatever the variety, green, violet or white, it is always delicious.
