Asparagus, just like any other green vegetable, contains an impressive amount of vitamin K, which plays a role in blood clotting and helps maintain good bone health. It is also a good source of folate, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin E, iron, copper, and manganese. Did you know that, in equal proportions, asparagus has almost the same quantity of antioxidants as a glass of red wine? The main antioxidants (lutein and zeaxanthin) found in asparagus are part of the carotenoid family and help reduce cancer and cardiovascular disease risks. SIMPLY DELICIOUS: Love asparagus? BPT too!
