Eat your Asparagus?

When I was little I hated asparagus! Now as an adult I've come to grow found of the strange looking vegetable. As I am currently steaming asparagus to eat I wonder what kind of vitamins asparagus holds that I used to be missing out on.

Asparagus is low in calories and very high in vitamins. They are loaded with folic acid and vitamins A, B and C. You can also get a good amount of your daily calcium and fiber from asparagus. In addition, asparagus has been known to help clean out your GI tract.

So go ahead and eat green (asparagus!).... it is St. Patrick's Day today!
