Asparagus

ASPARAGUS

  • Asparagus is a perennial flowering plant species in the genus Asparagus. Its young shoots are used as a spring vegetable. It’s also known as garden asparagus, sparrow grass, and by the scientific name Asparagus officinalis.
  • Thin and thick asparagus spears are both delicious, so choose the size that best suits your cooking method. Thicker stalks are better for broiling and roasting because they will stand up to the intense dry heat that would quickly shrivel skinnier spears.

BENEFITS

  • Amazing antioxidants: Asparagus is a good source of antioxidants, which help protect our cells from the type of damage that can lead to cancer and other diseases. They can also help to keep us looking younger for longer.
