High Fiber Asparagus
- Image via Wikipedia
In season asparagus -high in fiber and folate and low in calories - is perfect in pastas, soups and salads. I'm a huge fan of asparagus -even my seven year old son likes it and that's no small feat! After I found out just how healthy it is, I'm even a bigger fan.
Asparagus is the ultimate detox veggie making it a perfect weight loss food. It's got 3 grams of fiber which cleanses your digestive system, 290 milligrams of potassium per cup and no sodium. One cup only has 40 calories making it the perfect filling low calorie food. Asparagus has tons of folate in it which is powerful in reducing inflammation and the risk of heart disease, and in preventing birth defects. Asparagus is also loaded with vitamin K which helps prevent osteoporosis.
My favorite way to eat asparagus is to slather them in olive oil, sprinkle with salt and roast them on the grill. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon and some red pepper flakes for a tasty treat! Bon Apetite!
