Nutritional values

Asparagus provides plenty of potassium and asparagine. The combination of both substances has a draining effect and stimulates digestion. Asparagus is also loaded with folic acid, which helps the body produce and maintain new cells.

This quick pasta dish tastes great with green asparagus, which are thinner and slightly more hearty than white asparagus.

Thank you! You can also substitute green asparagus for the white if you cannot find it in your area.
