How To Choose, Prepare and Store Asparagus

We love asparagus! We try to incorporate it into the dishes we cook as much as we can. It can be grilled, steamed, baked, sauteed, boiled and even microwaved! A medium spear that is 5 ¹⁄₄ to 7 inches long is around 3 calories. It’s rich in vitamin K which helps prevent arteries from hardening (a common factor in heart failure). It also helps build stronger bones.
