The bottles of “asparagus water” were spotted by a Los Angeles-area shopper who snapped a photo of the $6 product and shared it on Instagram.

CBS- Whole Foods selling a bottle of water with three stalks of raw asparagus inside and calling it “Asparagus Water” didn’t seem real.
There’s no word on if anyone actually bought the water that Whole Foods said was meant to be used as a broth.
“This product was only sold for a brief time at one of our California stores”, Allison Phelps, press officer for Whole Foods Midwest (including Ontario), told the Star in an email. “It was carried briefly (for a few days) in just one of our stores in California”. “It was made incorrectly and has since been removed”, Burkhart said. Was this a grocery-store case of “more than meets the eye”?
Others proposed new ideas: “Tomato Water anyone?”
“We thought, ‘What’s the allure?”
So basically just the asparagus was supposed to sit in the water for a longer amount of time, and then the $6 price today would have been totally validated.
I can’t cease laughing at this asparagus water.
“You’re not missing out on anything if you didn’t get around to Whole Foods to buy the asparagus water”.

Fortunately, for Wakim – and different consumers who obtained caught up within the nice “Asparagus Water” debate – it not does.
