Asparagus
Hardly any other vegetables are as eagerly awaited in the spring as asparagus. And no wonder! These vegetables are versatile and real culinary treat.
A 500g serving of asparagus meets 80% of the daily requirements for vitamins C and E and almost half of the folic acid and potassium requirements. In addition, asparagus contains various phytochemicals such as the plant dyes anthocyanins or carotenoids and sulfur-containing sulfides. These substances are said to have, among other things, antibacterial and anti-cancer qualities.
