Asparagus has been around for a few hundred thousand years. Ancient Greeks and Romans used it in their cooking either fresh or dry. Greeks also discovered some remedy qualities in it. This is not a surprise since it is known for being an excellent source of vitamins A, C and high fiber. It is also a good antioxidant. It cooks fast and could potentially lose its flavor and color unless cooked properly.
Asparagus can be used in cold or warm salads, as a main or side dish, as cocktail food on canapes as well as in soups. I love asparagus because it is a tender, fresh, vitamin-rich, colorful vegetable that cooks easily. I always use it in salads, risotto and grilled. It goes well with many beverages but I prefer a good dry white wine.
I have added a wonderful asparagus risotto recipe in this site.
Enjoy!
