Asparagus
Asparagus is a long, rod-like green
vegetable that is pointed at one end.
Not too many people like asparagus
at all. However, these vegetables have
lots of good stuff for you in them.
Most people eat the shoots, or the
stems, rather than anything else.
Asparagus plants originated from the
Mediterranean area and Africa,
according to World Book. They grow
well in moist, sandy soil and in
moderate climates. In the United
States, California, New Jersey, and
Washington are the chief producers
of asparagus.According to World
Book, asparagus is a perennial plant,
which means that they can survive
for many years without replanting
them. Most commercial asparagus is
grown from seed. Basically, the
underground stem, known as the
rhizome, plus the crown is its growth.
As the plant gets nourished, the
rhizome has buds on them that grow
through the soil and become the
asparagus spears. If you take real
good care of them, you might get 20
years out of one plant.
You can boil asparagus or steam it,
either way they are good ; especially
if you add spices to it. I n ancient
Greece and Rome, they thought that
asparagus had medicinal qualities,
even curing toothaches. Just six
medium spears contain 90 mcg of
folate or about ! of the RDA; 20mg of
vitamin C (1/3 of RDA); and 750 I.U.
of vitamin A, or 1/5 of the RD A.
Asparagus is very low in calories and
super high in fiber. Asparagus is

rhizomes, which reveal stems. The
stems reveal growths called buds.
And the buds turn into flowers. The
flowers from the buds turn into small
bananas, the small bananas grow into
