The freshest, most sweet and delicious asparagus you'll find anywhere besides cutting it in your own garden! We've been growing asparagus for over 15 years and everyone says it's the best asparagus they've ever tasted:) It's divine for eating right out of hand or cut up in salad, or of course roasted, grilled or steamed, all the ways.
 
Mostly green variety but some extra-sweet purple spears if you're lucky.
 
***Asparagus season is only Mid-April through May.***
 
Picked once a day, it sells out most of the time, order it quick while you can! 
 
$10 per pound.
 
+ Did you know ASPARAGUS is one of the most healthful, antioxidant-rich foods there is?
 
1 cup of cooked asparagus has 40 calories, 4 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber and 404 milligrams of potassium.
 
ASPARAGUS IS…
-A good source of fiber, folate, Vitamins A, C, E and K and CHROMIUM, a trace mineral that
enhances the ability of insulin to transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells.
 
-A very rich source of GLUTATHIONE, a detoxifying compound that helps break down
carcinogens & other harmful compounds like free radicals. So eating asparagus may help protect
against & fight certain cancers, such as bone, breast, colon, larynx & lung cancers.
 
-Packed with antioxidants! Asparagus has a strong ability to neutralize cell-damaging free radicals,
which may help slow the aging process and reduce inflammation.
 
-May help the brain fight cognitive decline. Asparagus supplies folate, which works with vitamin
B12 to help prevent cognitive impairment.
 
-A natural diuretic, it contains high levels of the amino acid asparagine. It helps rid the body of
excess salts, esp. helpful for those w/ high blood pressure or other heart-related diseases.
