Nutritional Tips
Asparagus contains almost no fat and is rich in fibre and folate. It’s beneficial for us especially for indigestion because it contains inulin. Inulin is not digested (type of fibre) and has a prebiotic effect that helps feed healthy bacteria in the colon.
Asparagus is versatile and can be added to many dishes such as pasta, sauté, stir-fried vegetables etc. Alternatively, just steam and eat it as it is so that you can enjoy the asparagus’ own flavour. It is perfect as a starter or side dish.
