Asparagus is a flavorful vegetable that is high in fiber, folate, and vitamin A. A favorite Mediterranean side dish, this nutrient-dense plant can be roasted, pan-fried, boiled, steamed, or grilled. Its grounded flavors are subtle, and complement garlic fish and chicken beautifully.
Asparagus boasts a number of health benefits. It contains cancer-fighting antioxidants, which combat free radicals and ease inflammation. It’s also high in potassium, which lowers blood pressure. The fiber in asparagus can help encourage healthy digestion and weight loss. We source fresh, flavorful asparagus for wholesale and private-label purposes; contact us for more information today.
