Great for hearth health, healthy gut flora, and a natural diuretic are just a few of the benefits of eating asparagus. It is an excellent source of Vitamin K, C, A and packs a healthy dose of fiber.

Now is the time to buy this plant of goodness as it is IN season. The price is right, and the preparation options are endless. Here are a few ideas:

1. Steam the asparagus, squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top and add a sprinkle of both sea salt and pepper.

2.  Add cooked asparagus to an egg white omelet with a handful of low fat cheddar and your other favorite veggies!

3. Saute asparagus (in a bit of water or healthy oil) with mushrooms and chopped onion.

4. Add pre-cooked, chilled asparagus to your salad.

5. Add to your favorite stirfry (broccoli, green pepper, chicken, ....etc.)

 Eat in season. Save money and enjoy fresh/tasty produce. Be creative.
