Healthy, because
Frisée lettuce gets the digestion going with its bitter substances and is a vital substance bomb with lots of vitamin C, A and B vitamins. Wild rice is actually not rice at all, but a water grass plant. It contains more protein, iron, magnesium and zinc than its distant relative, the normal rice.
Even smarter
Outside the asparagus season, steamed broccoli, for example, also fits wonderfully instead of the green stalks.
