Recently, the Whole Foods in Brentwood, California started selling "Asparagus Water," a bottle of water with three asparagus stems sitting in it, for $5.99 a pop. Pret-a-Reporter states that when contacted about the suspicious produce, a representative stated, "There's been some miscommunication around this product. It was meant to be water with the essence of vegetables and/or mushrooms to be used as a broth (similar to bone broth), which are typically made over a long period of time soaking in water. The product was made incorrectly and has since been removed from the one store, Brentwood, where it was carried. We would love your help clarifying that this product is not available and was removed from the Brentwood store as soon as the issue was brought to our attention." Yeah, that denial would sound a lot more sincere if Whole Foods hadn't just been found guilty once again of overcharging their customers with improperly priced pre-packaged foods.
