White asparagus are no different from green asparagus in that regard,
the bottom ends of both have a tough fiberous part that should be
pared away rather than chopped off, They are actually the same
asparagus only to get white ones they are grown in the absence of
light. White are more expensive because they are more labor intensive
to grow, usually grown in caves. Any difference in flavor is due to
being a different variety, The white ones are grown strictly for
appearence.
