Asparagus is nutritionally dense and very easy to cook. The vegetable is loaded with micronutrients and is very low in calories, fat, and sodium.
According to a study published in the Journal of Metabolites, asparagus contains vitamins B, K, and E, as well as zinc, magnesium, iron, potassium, and fiber.
The growth rate of asparagus is about 1 inch per hour – according to Natural Society.
As asparagus can grow very fast, harvesting the vegetable keeps farmers very busy. The spears that do not get harvested turn into large fern like inedible plants.
Roasted Cheesy Asparagus pairs well with any protein which includes chicken, pork, beef and fish.
