Whether grilled, steamed, as a side dish with pasta, or traditionally with Hollandaise sauce: asparagus is indispensable in spring cuisine. But aside from the culinary enjoyment, the question arises: How healthy is asparagus actually?
The answer: Very – as long as you don't drown it in butter. Basically, asparagus contains a lot of water and few calories. 100 grams of green or white asparagus contain just about 20 kilocalories. And it keeps you full longer because the vegetable stays in the stomach for a long time. At the same time, the vegetable scores with a high content of vitamins, including vitamin C and E.
