Foods to Eat Now: Asparagus

Asparagus ranked #7 on the EWG Clean Fifteen (2026) and is loaded with antioxidants—making it a simple, powerful choice for everyday health.

One cup provides:
• 3g fiber (prebiotic)
• ~50% daily vitamin K
• ~40% folate
• ~10% iron

Why it matters:
Supports gut health, heart health, bone strength, and cellular repair—all from one seasonal vegetable.

Standout benefits:
• Gut health: Inulin feeds good bacteria + reduces inflammation
• Heart health: Potassium helps regulate blood pressure
• Energy: Iron supports oxygen delivery
• Cell health: Folate supports DNA + red blood cells

Types:
• Green: most common, anti-inflammatory
• White: milder, fewer antioxidants
• Purple: highest in antioxidants

Cook smart:
Lightly sauté or blanch (≤10 min) to preserve nutrients
• Add olive oil (vitamin K absorption)
• Add lemon (boosts iron absorption)
