About Thai asparagus

Thai Asparagus, also known as Chinese asparagus or “Pak No Mai,” is a vibrant, tender vegetable commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine. With origins in Thailand, this delicious plant is prized for its crisp texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is rich in essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, and K, antioxidants, and folate, making it a fantastic choice for promoting overall health. Thai Asparagus is also low in calories and carbohydrates while providing a good source of dietary fiber, which supports digestion and heart health. Its high water content helps with hydration, and traces of potassium contribute to maintaining healthy blood pressure. Versatile in recipes, this asparagus variety can be stir-fried, sautéed, or steamed and pairs well with garlic, fish sauce, and other bold ingredients. However, moderation is advised for individuals with kidney concerns due to its naturally occurring purines.
