Ask for Asparagus during May’s Harvest of the Month! This month we are talking all about Asparagus! Asparagus is a stem vegetable and the roots can grow 20 feet deep. Asparagus can be found in three colors: green, white, and purple! White asparagus is grown under the soil, so it is never exposed to sunlight which is why it never turns green. Asparagus gives us all kinds of different nutrients like folate, Vitamin C, and Vitamin K. These nutrients help our cells divide and protects them from damage, helps wounds heal, and supports our immune system. You can add bite size pieces of asparagus to your favorite soups, roast them with potatoes, add them to rice side dishes, or pasta salad. If you have some leftover cooked asparagus you can add it in your scrambled eggs! If you’re looking for a snack, you can dip asparagus spears in a healthy dip or dressing. Enjoy Asparagus this month and explore new foods!
