About Asparagus
One of the true delicacies of the vegetable world this vegetable is very easy to prepare and cook. Asparagus is a great healthy choice for your diet with high levels of vitamins A and C, potassium, iron and calcium.
Early in the season will probably just need a wash under the tap and a trim on the bottom . Later on the spears tends to get woody at the base – not such good eating. For these larger specimens bend the lower part until it snaps and throw the woody end away. If the bottom section has a tough skin pare away with a peeler or trimming knife to expose the paler and more tender flesh.
