Healthy vegetables

Not only is fresh asparagus delicious, it's also packed with nutrients! Our Wisconsin asparagus is rich in vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants that support your health.

Packed with Vitamins

Asparagus is an excellent source of Vitamin K (essential for blood clotting and bone health), Vitamin C (immune support), Vitamin A (eye health), and folate (especially important for pregnant women).

Supports Heart Health

The fiber and potassium in asparagus help maintain healthy blood pressure levels. Plus, asparagus contains asparagine, an amino acid that helps flush excess salt from your body.

Digestive Health

With 3 grams of fiber per cup, asparagus supports a healthy digestive system. The prebiotic fiber feeds beneficial gut bacteria, promoting overall gut health.

Low in Calories, High in Benefits

At just 27 calories per cup, asparagus is the perfect addition to any healthy diet. It's naturally low in sodium and contains no saturated fat or cholesterol.
