Your body can’t store much folate, so you need it every day.
Asparagus is very rich in vitamin K. This starchy green vegetable is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in fiber and essential vitamins. Asparagus tastes better when cooked, as the stalks soften with heat. Try your asparagus on the grill for an interesting flavor, or sauté the tips with your favorite stir-fry or vegetable side dish. Asparagus provides about one-third of your folate needs in a half-cup serving.
