Asparagus is low in calories and a great source of nutrients, including fiber, folate, and vitamins A, C, and K. Additionally, eating asparagus has a number of potential health benefits, including weight loss, improved digestion, healthy pregnancy outcomes, and lower blood pressure.

The taste is best described as a distinct, strong, assertive taste with some bitter undertones. However, fresh asparagus can have a milder taste. Many people say asparagus tastes like broccoli, green beans, or artichokes.
