Nutritional Facts about Asparagus

Asparagus is one of the most nutritionally well-balanced vegetables in existence. It is the best vegetable provider of folic acid, which is necessary for blood cell formation and growth, as well as in preventing liver disease. Folic acid is also important for pregnant women, as it helps in the prevention of neural tube defects such as spina bifida in the developing foetus.

Asparagus is very low in calories; each stalk contains fewer than 4 calories. It contains no fat or cholesterol, and is very low in sodium. It is a great source of potassium and fibre and vitamins B6, A and C, and thiamine.
