About Asparagus, canned, no salt added, solids and liquids

Asparagus is a tender spring vegetable harvested as young, edible shoots, or spears, prized for its grassy, slightly nutty flavor and crisp-tender bite. Most common is the green variety, though white asparagus, blanched underground away from light for a milder taste, and slender purple spears with a hint of sweetness are enjoyed too. Both pencil-thin and fat spears have their fans; thickness comes down to variety and age, not toughness.

Asparagus is low in calories yet rich in folate, vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, and fiber, along with antioxidants and a natural prebiotic called inulin, and it has a gentle diuretic reputation. It is delicious roasted, grilled, steamed, blanched, stir-fried, or shaved raw into salads, finished simply with olive oil, lemon, butter, Parmesan, or a poached egg, and it turns up in soups, quiches, frittatas, and risotto.

Snap off the woody ends before cooking, where the spear naturally breaks, and peel thick stalks if you like. It is best eaten soon after buying, since its sugars quickly turn starchy. Choose firm, bright spears with tight, compact tips and dry cut ends, and store them upright in a little water in the refrigerator, or wrapped in a damp towel, to keep them crisp.
