Asparagus - lb

Asparagus is a nutritious, low-calorie vegetable with a fresh, savory, slightly bitter flavor with grassy notes. It is most commonly eaten by roasting or grilling on the side of meats or other entrées, but can also be sautéed or eaten raw in salads. It is excellent when paired with bacon, salmon, lemon, parmesan, eggs, pasta, or rice. The best way to preserve asparagus is to snap off the woody ends and store upright in the fridge. 

Asparagus is an excellent source of Vitamin K, A, C, and Folate. These compounds are great for bone health, heart health, cell growth, and pregnancy! Its fiber content promotes good gut bacteria, while its potassium can help to lower blood pressure. Asparagus is also a natural diuretic, which can help to flush out waste and prevent UTIs. A tasty, versatile, and beneficial vegetable!
