Amazing Asparagus

I love fresh asparagus and thankfully I live in an area where fresh local asparagus is in abundant supply this time of year. So this past weekend I made it a point to stop by a relatively new fresh produce store in our fair city that offers products produced locally - anything from fresh fruits and veggies, to local ciders and jams. Managed by two farm families, their slogan is “from bloom to your dining room”. And yes, there was plenty of asparagus to be had. I purchased two large bunches and plan on incorporating it into stir-fries, soups, salads and more over the next week. Asparagus is one of those vegetables that is packed full of health benefits, in fact it has been touted as one of the world’s healthiest foods, and when you consider that it is chock full of anti-inflammatory phytonutrients as well as antioxidants and is rich in fiber that comes as no surprise. In the past asparagus has been thought of as a delicacy or luxury vegetable, but while it is certainly a culinary delight, it is now widely available to all consumers around the world. So this spring help yourself, your local economy and local farmers by purchasing and enjoying fresh locally grown asparagus.
