Guest guest Posted November 12, 2002 Report Share Posted November 12, 2002 Asparagus tips. Spear 25 on your fork to barely reach 100 calories? That's not all... This true dieter's delight is plentiful and inexpensive in spring. Asparagus is a great source of folic acid, and a good source of vitamins A and C. When buying asparagus, choose firm, bright green spears with tight tips. Wrap in plastic and store for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. If stems are thick, peel the outermost layer with a vegetable peeler. Steam or boil until just tender, about 3 minutes. Resist butter sauces or oil-rich vinaigrettes, which ruin the nutritional profile. ===== Language is an expression of thought.
