STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • The slender spears that we’ve come to know as asparagus are actually the young shoots of the asparagus plant
  • Asparagus is one of the few foods that naturally contain glutathione, a master internal antioxidant and detoxifier
  • Asparagus is rich in inulin, a type of prebiotic fiber that helps improve digestive health, regulate blood sugar levels and aids in weight loss
  • To choose fresh asparagus, look for spears that are firm, straight and smooth, with tightly closed tips
