Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 ASPARAGUS: Asparagus contains an amino acid called Aspargagine which is a strong diuretic, stimulating the kidneys. Asparagus is a great blood cleanser and excellent for healthy bowel maintenance. Some find that it soothes a nervous mind. You may find your urine turning dark and developing a strong odour. This is a harmless by-product of asparagus. Asparagus also contains beta-carotene, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B1, bioflavonoid, potassium, and vitamin C. Fresh, it should be bright green and firm to the tip. It will keep a couple of days in the refrigerator. Asparagus is an expensive but delicious addition to any veggie juice drink. It is excellent to juice with carrots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 To avoid the expense of a whole bunch, I just buy 4 stalks at a time. I'm the only one eating it, so that's enough for a serving.Patricia--- On Sat, 9/19/09, fraggle <EBbrewpunx wrote:fraggle <EBbrewpunxRE: Asparagus Date: Saturday, September 19, 2009, 3:04 PM depends on where you live, but, you harvest asparagus in the spring. late march thru april on the west coast here. april and may in the northeast of the US. etc and so forth Judy Goldsmith Sep 19, 2009 5:08 PM RE: Asparagus OK, so help out the gardening dummy.
