From a nutritional standpoint, asparagus is rich in
Vitamins A and C, and very rich in iron, which makes it useful in treating
some kinds of anemia. It's also rich in fiber, which makes it good for
those with lazy digestions and makes asparagus extremely healthy food
for the whole family. Cooking it at least few times a week is not time
consuming but can keep you in shape and good condition. It is recommended
to cook asparagus in special pots though. Thus if you fancy yourself
as a serious asparagus cook or at least look always beautiful and well
shaped, you might decide to invest in a special asparagus steamer. Experts
recommend asparagus pot to everyone who wants to be absolutely delighted
with. As well as being an excellent tool for its intended purpose, it
does extra duty as a general-purpose boiler and steamer. It also looks
great in every kitchen. To use the asparagus pot, or a similar type of pot, just place some salted water at the bottom of the pan and bring it the boil. Stand the asparagus spears upright in the wire basket and lower it into the water. The idea is that the stalks will be closer to the boiling water than the crowns, and this compensates for the fact they take slightly longer to cook. After 15 minutes or so (depending on the type and quality of the asparagus), the vegetables should be lovely and tender. |
