Calories in Asparagus
|
|
Asparagus has several ligaments; hold the spear and snap at the lower ligament. If is does not break away freely, you'll need to go up to the next ligament and try again - and keep doing such until the hard area breaks away freely.
This is a stellar food source for potassium with one cup of raw containing close to 300 milligrams. In addition, asparagus is an excellent source for iron and a good source for calcium as well as vitamin C.
