SUMMARY— Four anthocyanin pigments were isolated from asparagus spears, Asparagus officinalis L., and identified by chromatographic, spectral, and chemical properties. The major pigment was a linear triglycoside, cyanidin‐3‐rhamnosylgluco‐sylglucoside, followed by cyanidin‐3‐rhamnosylglucoside. The peonidin analogues of the above pigments were also present in minor quantities.
