The contents of nutritional components in different parts of asparagus tender stems vary greatly. From the tip of the bamboo shoot to the bottom of the bamboo shoot, it is divided into four parts, called tip, middle, bottom and outside. Their nutritional components were determined respectively. The top of asparagus is tightly wrapped by asparagus scales like a pen tip, which is the most nutritious place for asparagus.
Many people who don't know how to do it think asparagus tips can't be eaten or delicious, which is a big mistake; Asparagus tip is not only fresh and delicious, but also contains the highest content of main disease-resistant nutrients in asparagus.
Can asparagus tips be eaten? Asparagus tip is not only edible, but also the most nutritious part of the whole asparagus.
The contents of calcium and iron in asparagus tip are more than 1 times that in asparagus root, and the contents of potassium, magnesium and copper are also 50% higher, and the contents of vitamin C and folic acid are also higher than those in asparagus root. But also rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and trace elements needed by human body. In addition, asparagus contains special asparagine and substances, which are effective for cardiovascular diseases, edema, cystitis and leukemia.
Therefore, asparagus tips have high nutritional value, and some people will pick them off when eating asparagus. In fact, this is wrong, which will reduce the nutritional value of asparagus.
It can be seen that the whole asparagus is edible, and each part has its nutritional value, which is beneficial to human health, but the asparagus tip has higher nutritional value and is a very precious part, so we should never cut off the asparagus tip when eating asparagus, which is a waste.
