Eat asparagus for your health
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
Asparagus are not just good, they’re good for you. They have vitamin E, K and folic acid and are credited with helping as a conductor of insulin in the body.
They’re a fibrous vegetable, and a serving can fill you up. These are all good reasons to eat asparagus for your health.
But isn’t it nice that something so good for you is delicious.
None of these dishes are really complicated, but they can be served up quickly and pack some punch into an everyday meal.
I hope you’ll enjoy this delicious vegetable.
