About Green asparagus

Green asparagus, a versatile and nutrient-rich vegetable, is celebrated for its tender stalks and slightly earthy, grassy flavor. Native to the Mediterranean and widely cultivated worldwide, asparagus is a staple in cuisines ranging from European to Asian. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, this powerhouse vegetable is high in fiber, vitamin K, folate, and B vitamins, supporting bone health, digestion, and cell function. It’s also rich in antioxidants, including glutathione, which aids in detoxification and combats free radicals. Low in calories and fat-free, asparagus is an excellent choice for weight management and heart health. However, its natural compounds may cause a distinctive odor in urine, a harmless byproduct of sulfur metabolism. Commonly roasted, steamed, or grilled, green asparagus is a delicious addition to salads, pastas, or stir-fries, offering both flavor and valuable nutrients.
