You will find this vegetable in two varieties, white or green. The white is grown underground and harvested as the tip hits ground while green has a greater vitamin content for simple reason that
sunshine has nourished it green.
What’s in it for me?
Asparagus containes large amounts of Vitamin A, C and B-complex and minerals such as potassium, manganese and iron.
It is highly alkaline and contains asparagine, which cleanses the blood and body waste. Asparagus passes quickly through the body and imparts a bad odour to the urine (this means its working the way it should).
It also acts as a wonderful diuretic and completely safe when menustration causes water retention. It is also a good source of rutin, it strengthens cappilaries and keep them in good shape.
Natural benefits of Asparagus
- Promotes bowel functioning.
- Promotes functions of kidney, liver and intestines due to the cleansing nature of asparagine.
- Helpful for anaemia (deficiency of haemoglobin in blood), eye problems and nervous disorders.
- May also help reduce symptoms of haemophilia (impaired ability to clot) and edema (swelling due to increased tissue fluid) of the legs.
It is also low in calories about less than 4 calories per spear/stick. Asparagus should be eaten fresh as it will loose flavour. Try storing it in plastic bags in the refrigerator.
