Yummy i love this stuff...But did you Know!!!
Asparagus
This is a free excerpt from the nutrition book,
God's Banquet Table!

ASPARAGUS Available in early spring. Can be expensive due to difficulty in cultivating. Its claim to fame is the amino acid aspargagine which is destroyed by cooking. (So don't over cook, steam it just enough to eat) Aspargagine is a strong diuretic, stimulating the kidneys. Asparagus is a great blood cleanser and excellent for healthy bowel maintenance. Some find that it soothes a nervous mind. You may find your urine turning dark and develop a strong odor. This is a harmless by-product of asparagus. Asparagus contains beta-carotene, vitamins B1 and C, bioflavinoids, potassium, and vitamin C.

Fresh, it will be bright green and firm to the tip. Will keep a couple of days in the refrigerator. Asparagus is an expensive but delicious addition to any veggie juice drink. Excellent to juice with carrots.


Yummy... Asparagus season is just around the corner..I'm excited i hope you are to..Nutrious and delious.
