What is Asparagus?<\/h2>\n

Asparagus officinalis<\/em> is a perennial plant and vegetable. It is native to Mediterranean countries but is grown throughout the world.<\/p>\n

This popular food is characterized by its fleshy and bud-like spears that lie upon a fibrous stem or spear. It has a distinct, delicate taste that is mild and earthy.<\/p>\n

Nutrient values<\/h3>\n

As with many vegetables, asparagus is both nutrient-dense and low in calories.<\/p>\n

You’ll find a number of vitamins and minerals in this food, including vitamins A C and E, a range of B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin and niacin) and the minerals selenium, manganese and potassium. It is also a great source of fiber and extremely low in fat.<\/p>\n
