Asparagus is a good source of vitamin C and an excellent source of folate. It also contains glutathione, an antioxidant promoting health.

Select asparagus stalks of similar width with tightly closed tips for the best quality. Young, thin asparagus is generally more tender.

Store asparagus in the refrigerator with the ends trimmed and wrapped in a damp paper towel or standing upright in a container with water.
