Asparagus is a vegetable eaten for its young shoots. The figures here describe fresh asparagus that has been steamed, including the tips and thicker stems, with the tough bases removed. Per 100g, it provides 2.9g of protein, 1.3g of fibre, 102µg of folate and 283mg of potassium. It also contains smaller amounts of other vitamins and minerals.
Folate supports normal blood cell formation, while potassium helps nerves and muscles function normally. Fibre contributes to normal bowel function. Steamed asparagus contains little salt or saturated fat, although adding salt, butter or sauces changes the nutritional content of the finished dish. Full nutritional figures are shown in the tables below.
