Asparagus provides 1.8 grams of fiber in just half a cup serving. Most adults should aim to include 25-38 grams of fiber in their daily diets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various studies have indicated that diets filled with fiber-rich fruits and vegetables reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26021487\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Asparagus also contains high amounts of insoluble fiber which is essential for supporting regular bowel movements. The soluble fiber content is also responsible for fostering the growth of friendly bacteria in your gut (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3705355\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These bacteria play a key role in strengthening your immune system and producing <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/1200-calorie-deficit\/\">essential nutrients<\/a> like vitamin K (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3178565\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

However, it contains a compound known as trithiane-5-carboxylic acid which is particularly concentrated in young stalks. They have been known to cause dermatitis in sensitive people, mainly on the hands or fingers, and urticaria which causes swollen and itchy lips (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007%2Fs40629-017-0042-y\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">18<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The allergy symptoms usually last only a few minutes but you should call your doctor if they persist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another unpleasant yet harmless effect of eating asparagus is a strange odor coming from your urine. This is due to the sulfurous amino acid content known as asparagusic acid present in the vegetable. When it\u2019s broken down during digestion, it produces a pungent smell which is excreted and can last up to a day, but isn\u2019t harmful (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/chemse\/article\/36\/1\/9\/442551\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other adverse interactions associated with asparagus consumption include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interactions_With_Lithium_Drugs\"><\/span><strong>Interactions With Lithium Drugs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asparagus has a mild diuretic effect.\u00a0 It can therefore, theoretically, impair excretion while increasing concentration of lithium in your blood. So there\u2019s a risk of amplifying the side effects of the drug when using asparagus (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rxlist.com\/asparagus_racemosus\/supplements.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interactions_With_Coumadin_Warfarin\"><\/span><strong>Interactions With Coumadin (Warfarin)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asparagus has a high content of <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/how-to-lower-cortisol-fast\/\">vitamin K<\/a>. People using warfarin or other blood thinners need to keep their intake of this vitamin consistent from day to day due to its effect on the blood clotting process.

Whichever option you decide to go for, ensure the stalks have a tightly closed bud, are rich in color, appear plump and stand firm. The white and green variants have almost the same amounts of carbohydrates and calories per serving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, since white asparagus is not exposed to much sunlight when sprouting, it lacks chlorophyll which is a beneficial phytochemical. It also contains marginally less amounts of vitamin C. On the plus side, white asparagus is thicker and more tender than green asparagus, delivers a nutty flavor and is less prone to stringiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now this vegetable can be purchased canned or frozen. Nutrients are retained in both scenarios but the canned versions have added sodium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, fresh asparagus tends to dry out quickly. As such proper storage is necessary to maintain its integrity. Here are a few storage tips:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trim about and inch of the bottom of the stalks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrap the ends up in a moist paper towel<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t wash the stalks until just before cooking<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stand them in a jar of water before storing them in a refrigerator<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/sorrel-calories-benefits-side-effects\/\">Sorrel Nutrition Facts, Health Benefits, And Side Effects<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2171&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Cooked_Asparagus_Nutrition_Facts\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38684 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frame-5285-1024x576.png\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frame-5285.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frame-5285-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frame-5285.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frame-5285.png 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Cook_Asparagus\"><\/span><strong>How To Cook Asparagus<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asparagus can either be stir-fried, steamed, boiled or even eaten raw <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/weight-loss-over-50\/\">in salads<\/a>.
