While there are very few calories in asparagus nutrition (less than 30 calories per cup), there are lots of essential nutrients, including vitamin K, vitamin A, folate, iron, copper and B vitamins, in addition to antioxidants and certain amino acids.
Benefits of this vegetable include supporting heart health, helping to fight cancer, defending against UTIs and kidney stones, protecting the skin, supplying folate for a healthy pregnancy, and more.
I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
