Asparagus, mmm mmm good!

Asparagus are high in nutrients, low in calories adn very rich in flavor.  Asparagus is a great source of folic acid and beta carotene and vitamin C - antioxidant nutrients which helpt to fight cancer, heart disease and eye problems.  This vegetable works as a mild diuretic due to it's high potassium content.

Nutrients:  Vitamin B1, B3, B5, C, E, K, beta-carotene, biotin, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selennium, zinc and fiber.

Don't become alarmed if your urine has a funny odor after eating asparagus this is absolutely harmless.

* just a quick tip, eat asparagus as soon as possible after purchasing because I find that they toughen quickly.  They are much more enjoyable while eaten tender.
