Trivia: Martha Washington has what type of vegetable named after her?
Corn
Cabbage
Beet
Asparagus
The correct answer is Asparagus
So why is this answer correct? : The first-ever First Lady is commemorated in an unusual way on spring plates — that is, the popular “Asparagus Officinalis” crop, better known to most as Martha Washington Asparagus. The easy-to-grow crop has been actively cultivated for over 100 years thanks to its resistance to “rust,” a pesky parasite that plagued asparagus crops in the early 20th century. This special veggie is cultivated on the Washingtons’ Mount Vernon estate in tribute to its famous namesake.
