Vegetable of the Week: Asparagus

Each week when I go to the grocery store,
I have decided to step out of my comfort zone and buy
a vegetable that I'm unfamiliar with. This week I chose
Asparagus. I've only had it once and I liked it so I hope
to start incorporating it more into our everyday meals.I'm
actually surprised that I found it because it is a spring
vegetable.

According to Wikipedia, Asparagus is:

• low calorie
• extremely high in folate (promotes healthy heart)
• high in potassium
• high in Vitamin C
• has lots of antioxidants
• and is "cleansing and healing"

I'm surprised how good this green vegetable tastes....
So far I have included it in pizza and just as a side dish with walnuts ( check out my 2 prior posts)....
