Dubbed the aristocracy among vegetables, loved by the most discerning gourmets, flexible, firm, and low-calorie.
What's not to love?!
Asparagus has long conquered our tables. The beginnings were tough, as most of us just boiled them in water. And any asparagus connoisseur knows perfectly well that there are far more interesting ways to prepare them...
When is asparagus in season?
Why should you remember asparagus?
- Asparagus is low in calories. Each asparagus spear contains approximately 6 calories. Importantly, they are rich in protein, making them a filling vegetable. But beware! Additions such as butter or oil can significantly increase the calorie count of an 'asparagus' meal.
- Asparagus is a valuable source of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. Pregnant women will benefit the most from consuming asparagus, due to the substantial dose of folic acid contained in these vegetables. Asparagus is also a source of vitamins C, K, and B.
- Asparagus can be prepared in dozens of ways! This advantage will be particularly appreciated by those on a diet, who often complain about a lack of variety in their meals. Asparagus is not only low in calories, but the number of recipes for their preparation is constantly growing! Special asparagus pots are even available on the market these days :)
Asparagus curiosities
Asparagus inspirations
Grilled asparagus
For us, it's number one! Crispy skin, a crunchy centre, and a vibrant colour... The bonus is the lightning-fast preparation – we rub the asparagus with olive oil, our favourite spices, and herbs (garlic is a must!), and then throw it on the grill or a grill pan for a quarter of an hour.
Steamed asparagus
Not just for those on a diet! Steaming isn't always associated with great taste. Some people believe that this method of preparing vegetables strips them of their flavour. Luckily, this doesn't apply to asparagus :) Asparagus stands out with its exquisite, unique taste, firm texture, and appealing appearance. Steaming doesn't deprive them of these advantages. For lovers of these noble vegetables, we particularly recommend asparagus pots. They are tall, tall enough so that the asparagus doesn't stick out; they are also equipped with baskets, which greatly facilitate the steaming process. See our asparagus pots >>>

Asparagus accompaniments
Asparagus likes to reign supreme on the table, but it doesn't always have to be the main course. Its presence as an accompaniment is also a great solution. Most often, you'll find it alongside poached eggs or in an omelette mixture. Asparagus even makes its way onto pizza! An excellent starter suggestion is also asparagus wrapped in puff pastry. Yum!
