Nutritional values

Asparagus has a ton of folic acid content, a B-vitamin that is often neglected in today's diet. Folic acid is pespecially good for expectant mothers.

Serve a spritzer made of red grape juice or black currant juice to add some iron to this meal. Iron will help your body absorb the asparagus's folic acid.
