Byte of Asparagus

ASPARAGUS

Asparagus is one of my favorite veggies. Adding asparagus to any meal just seems to add a touch of elegance. As with most veggies, asparagus has its own very special flavor, which is a result of the combination of specific nutrients it contains.  I find it interesting that asparagus comes from the lily family, and is found in many different colors including green, pink, purple and white.  Pretty.  :O)

While asparagus is highest in Vitamin K and folate, we've already discussed these nutrients in-depth here at VegWeb. So let's turn our attention to another excellent nutrient found in asparagus.

Asparagus is an excellent source of vitamin C.  Usually when we think of sources of vitamin C we turn to fruits such as oranges and strawberries.  But veggies are also a wonderful source of this important vitamin!  Boiled asparagus can provide over 30% of your body's daily need for vitamin C, and this number only increases with other cooking methods, such as steaming or blanching.

Vitamin C is actually quite abundant in the diets of vegetarians…

Can you remember the first time you were fed spinach?  Most likely not, since your parents probably tried to feed you pureed spinach before you could object.  They just knew that the day would approach soon enough when you might turn up your nose and "just say no" to spinach. I remember how let down I felt by Popeye for leading me to try a food that was so disgusting tasting.

It wasn't until I went vegetarian that I actually started to appreciate the flavor of spinach.  My tastebuds were going through a lot of changes, as most of ours do when we go veg, and suddenly spinach didn't seem so bad.  In fact, it tasted downright good.

But it wasn't until I started understanding the importance of a healthy vegan diet that the main purpose of spinach upon this earth really hit home for me.

Since spinach is a dark leafy green, you may already know that it's an excellent source of calcium, protein and Omega 3 Fatty Acids.  But let's talk about the most dense nutrient you'll discover in spinach…
