The health benefits of asparagus

Asparagus consists mainly of water and is therefore very low in calories. Despite its high water content, the precious vegetable – green or white – not only contains plenty of minerals, such as calcium and potassium, but vitamins too.

But please note: asparagus also has a diuretic effect. People with kidney problems should therefore eat it with caution.
