Introduction
Mitho Kurilo, also known as Asparagus officinalis, is
a highly valued vegetable and medicinal plant. In Nepali, "Mitho"
means "tasty" and "Kurilo" refers to asparagus – together
it translates as "tasty asparagus." This plant is famous not just for
its delicious young shoots, but also for its powerful health benefits.
Known globally for its use in cuisines and traditional
medicine, Mitho Kurilo has a long history of cultivation and usage across
Europe, Asia, and now in Nepal too. Whether you want to grow it in your garden,
eat it for its taste, or use it as a remedy for various health issues, this
amazing herb has something for everyone.
Availability in Nepal and Other Countries
In Nepal, Mitho Kurilo is mainly grown in areas with moist
and fertile soil, often in the hilly and mid-hill regions. It thrives in
cool climates and can grow up to 3–5 feet tall. While wild Kurilo
varieties are found in forests, Mitho Kurilo is a cultivated version that’s
less thorny and more suitable for farming.
The shoots, or tender sprouts, are harvested and sold
in local markets – especially in spring. In Nepali markets, fresh young Kurilo
shoots can sell for up to NPR 500 per kilogram, and the seeds fetch as
high as NPR 4,000 per kilogram, showing its high commercial value.
Globally, Asparagus officinalis is grown in countries
like the United States, China, Germany, Spain, and Peru. It’s a major
commercial crop in Europe and North America, especially used in gourmet cooking
and health supplements.

- Thorns:
Unlike wild varieties, Mitho Kurilo has very few thorns, making it
easier to harvest and handle.
The plant begins to sprout in early spring, and with enough
moisture, it produces new shoots regularly. These shoots grow rapidly and
should be harvested when they’re around 6–8 inches long, before they
become tough and fibrous.
