 Twitter user Layla Dhere (@dhere) expressed confusion in a recent tweet featuring the above image of a row of bottles of what is labeled "Asparagus Water" on a shelf. The bottles appear to be filled with water and three stalks of raw asparagus. They are priced at $5.99 each. Dhere is right to be perplexed. 
  
 "The nutrients from the asparagus do transfer into the water." 
  
 The labels say "Whole Foods," and the date on the bottles is current. A call to the supermarket (these particular bottles are from the Whole Foods in Brentwood, Calif. though in the New York City area grocery delivery service Instacart, which is a partner of Whole Foods, lists "Asparagus Water") at first produced some bewilderment. The operator denied the product existed. Eventually she transferred the call to a gentleman in the produce department who did not want to give his name. He explained that the product was new, "We've had them on the shelf for the last few days." When asked how the item is made, he said, "It's water, and we sort of cut asparagus stalks down so they're shorter, and put them into the container." When Eater asked what it was for, there was a long pause before he said, "Well, it's... to drink." He elaborated, "The nutrients from the asparagus do transfer into the water." 
  
 As a point of comparison, Whole Foods has whole bundles of asparagus on sale for about $5. 
  
 A search for "Asparagus Water" doesn't turn up any recipes or news articles; it's seemingly not a common item. And the Whole Foods employees Eater spoke with said it was not a product that had been requested by customers. Eater has reached out to Whole Foods' corporate office for comment. Perhaps Whole Foods' Asparagus Water will be sold for $3.99 at its new lower-priced 365 markets. 
  
 But maybe the pricey grocer is ahead of the game and vegetable water is the new bone broth? Or, Whole Foods is trolling its own employees, and ripping off customers as usual. 
  
 Update 8/3/15; 6:20 p.m. EST: Whole Foods' Senior Media Relations Specialist Liz Burkhart responded to Eater's request for comment by explaining that it was all a big misunderstanding: 
  
 "We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We looked into this right away and found that this item was being carried in just one of our stores in California. It was meant to be water with the essence of vegetables and/or mushrooms to be used as broth (similar to a 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 where it was carried. We read your story, and would love your help clarifying that this product isn't and never has been available for online ordering on Instacart and was only ever offered in one store." 
  
 Eater Video: A great way to incorporate vegetables into your dishes ||||| While there are many ridiculous food trends out there, most food faddists would be forced to take pause at a $6 bottle of water with a few asparagus stalks hanging out in it. And to our supreme relief, it turns out that not even Whole Foods is willing to go that far into the realm of unnecessary products, calling a recent “Asparagus Water” offering a mistake. 
  
 Eater.com followed up on an Instagram post with an image of bottles of water displayed for sale at $5.99, each with three stalks of asparagus hanging out inside, at a Brentwood, CA Whole Foods store: 
  
 Eater made a few calls, as the date on the bottles is current, and of course wanted to know how could this possibly be a real thing, if this is the world we’re living in now, etc.: a worker in the produce department explained that the bottles have been on the shelf for the last few days, and added that the product is exactly what it seems. 
  
 “It’s water, and we sort of cut asparagus stalks down so they’re shorter, and put them into the container,” he told Eater, adding that it’s meant to be a beverage, and that the “nutrients from the asparagus do transfer into the water.” 
  
 However, rest easy, folks. Whole Foods corporate says this was never meant to be, and it will not be selling Asparagus Water anytime soon. A media relations rep told Eater that the water’s appearance on the shelf was a mixup: 
  
 “We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We looked into this right away and found that this item was being carried in just one of our stores in California,” the rep explained. “It was meant to be water with the essence of vegetables and/or mushrooms to be used as broth (similar to a 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 where it was carried.” 
  
 The rep added that to clarify, Asparagus Water is not a thing, it will never be a thing, and it only happened once in that one California store. If you want it, you’ll just have to make your own at home. 
  
 Whole Foods’ $6 Asparagus Water Is Just Water With Three Stalks of Asparagus in It [Eater.com] |||||
Student:
If you're wondering whether a $5.99 bottle of asparagus water has actually become a thing, it has—but neither Whole Foods nor consumers are letting it be more than a fleeting fad, reports Consumerist. It started Monday when a Los Angeles magazine editor posted a photo of the offending bottles at a California Whole Foods store on Instagram, reports CBS News. "Somewhere in L.A., Whole Foods executives are laughing at all of us," she wrote. The photo began to spread, as these things do, and by the time Eater reported on it people were taking to Twitter with such comments as, "If any of you ever catch me buying a $6 bottle of 'asparagus water' at Whole Foods—or anywhere—you are free to punch me on sight." Whole Foods responded quickly to "Asparagus Water(gate)." "We appreciate you bringing this to our attention," a rep wrote to Eater. "We looked into this right away and found that this item was being carried in just one of our stores in California." She claims it was supposed to be water with the "essence of vegetables" to be used as broth, but it was "made incorrectly and has since been removed from the one store where it was carried." (This is after Eater talked to a store employee who said it had been on the shelf for a few days, is meant for drinking, and oh yeah, "The nutrients from the asparagus do transfer into the water.") But back to the official line, per Eater: "The rep added that to clarify, Asparagus Water is not a thing, it will never be a thing, and it only happened once in that one California store. If you want it, you’ll just have to make your own at home." (It turns out the No. 1 organic grocer isn't who you think.)
