Benefits of Asparagus:
Not only is asparagus low in fat and calories (one cup sets you back a mere 32 calories), but it also contains lots of soluble and insoluble fiber, making it a good choice if you’re trying to lose weight. Because your body digests fiber slowly, it keeps you feeling full in between meals. Asparagus is also a source of vitamin E, another important antioxidant. This vitamin helps strengthen your immune system.
