Health Benefits

Good for Gut Health:

Asparagus is rich in dietary fiber which is a key mineral you'd need to feel your belly without overeating. It further adds bulk to the stools thereby preventing constipation and it is good for gut health and microbiome as well.

Excellent Source of Antioxidants:

Asparagus is a good source of antioxidants required to fend off harmful free radicals and oxidative stress that leads to chronic inflammation. 

May Help Lower Blood Pressure:

Asparagus is loaded with potassium, a mineral that is effective in high blood pressure. It removes excess sodium from the body and relaxes walls of blood vessels both of which are effective in lowering blood pressure.
