Nutritional values

Asparagus provides us with a good portion of folic acid - the B vitamin is involved in cell renewal and blood formation and is particularly important for pregnant women, as it can prevent malformations in the unborn child.

If you like, you can also prepare the dish with green asparagus - then you only have to peel the lower third of the stems and the cooking time is reduced to about 5 minutes. By the way, green asparagus contains even more folic acid than white asparagus.
