In Season Now: Asparagus

Slender and green asparagus is in season from February until June. Chock-full of nutrients like folate, potassium and Vitamins E, A and C, it has only 22 calories per six spears—making it a delicious and nutritious veggie to incorporate into your meals this spring! (Just be sure to eat it soon after purchasing, as it only keeps for a few days in the fridge.) To prep, simply rinse the stalks under water and snap off the fibrous base.
