These subcategories are orthogonal: a product can be assigned one or more of the subcategories.
* [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/category/Frozen%20spinach%20leaves Frozen spinach leaves] for frozen '''Spinach''', but with leaves still whole;
+
==== By type ====
* [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/category/frozen-chopped-spinachs Frozen chopped spinachs] for frozen '''Spinach''' where the leaves a finely cut;
+
* [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/category/green-asparagus Green asparagus];

In France one can buy fresh winter spinach, but that is noted on packages and can only be recognised by the shape of the leaves (large, crumpled). No category for this as yet;

==== By presentation ====
 +
* [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/category/canned-asparagus Canned asparagus] for '''Asparagus''' in glass pots and cans;
 +
* [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/category/fresh-asparagus Fresh asparagus] for '''Asparagus''' raw in  "bottes";
 +
* [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/category/frozen-asparagus Frozen asparagus] for '''Asparagus''' found in the frozen aisles;
  
The '''Frozen spinachs''' category could be divided in frozen as a single block or as cubes.
+
==== By size ====
 +
* [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/category/miniature-asparagus Minature asparagus];
  
The '''Canned spinachs''' category can be divided in two subcategories: plain (no added ingredients) and prepared (some ingredients added, but not cream). It is not directly clear from the packaging what product belongs to what subcategory. So a division seems not in place.
+
==== By treatment ====
 +
* [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/category/peeled-asparagus Peeled asparagus]
  
The Cooked Spinachs category has been commented out, as there are no products for this category. However all canned and frozen spinachs seem to be blanched, but this is hard to find on the packaging.

=== Comparing categories ===
 +
The categories can be compared for each nutritional value
 +
==== Energy ====
 +
[[File:Vegetables-Asparagus-Energy.png|50 px|thumb|right|Energy]]
 +
There is a significant difference between the energy of the canned products and the fresh/frozen products.
 +
 +
==== Fat ====
 +
[[File:Vegetable-Asparagus-Fat.png|50 px|thumb|left|Fat]]
 +
==== Carbohydrates ====
 +
[[File:Vegetables-Asparagus-Carbohydrates.png|50 px|thumb|right|Carbohydrates]]The carbohydrates seem reduced for the '''Canned Asparagus'''.
 +
==== Sugars ====
 +
[[File:Vegetables-Asparagus-Sugars.png|50 px|thumb|left|Sugars]]No difference between categories.
 +
 +
==== Fiber ====
 +
[[File:Vegetables-Asparagus-Fiber.png|50px|thumb|right|Fibre]]Seems the same across categories. The frozen zero values seem in error.
 +
 +
==== Proteins ====
 +
<gallery>[[File:Vegetables-Asparagus-Proteins.png|50px|thumb|left|Proteins]]<gallery>The fresh and frozen categories are comparable. The canned category has less proteins. Is this due to the dilution by water?
 +
 +
==== Salt ====
 +
[[File:Vegetables-Asparagus-Salt.png|50px|thumb|right|Salt]] The figure shows the violin plots and data of three asparagus subcategories. For the fresh and frozen subcategories there is not much data. However for the '''Canned Asparagus''' there is a lot of data. It is clear that salt has been added for all of the products. The box-plot also allows to identify the outlier limits (upper and lower) for each category.
