Asparagus, grilled

Asparagus is a vegetable eaten for its tender stems and tips. The figures here describe grilled asparagus with the tough stem bases removed. Per 100g, it provides 3.5g of protein, 1.6g of fibre, 122µg of folate and 339mg of potassium. It also contains vitamin C and small amounts of carbohydrate and fat.

Folate supports normal blood cell formation, while potassium helps nerves and muscles function normally. Fibre contributes to normal bowel function. Grilled asparagus contains little salt or saturated fat, although adding salt, butter or sauces will change the nutritional content of the dish. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
