It is also a good source of vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium and zinc, and a very good source of dietary fiber, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, thiamin, riboflavin, rutin, niacin, folic acid, iron, phosphorus, potassium, copper, manganese and selenium. The amino acid asparagine gets its name from asparagus, the asparagus plant being rich in this compound. The shoots are prepared and served in a number of ways around the world, typically as an appetizer or vegetable side dish. In Asian-style cooking, asparagus is often stir-fried. Cantonese restaurants in the United States often serve asparagus stir-fried with chicken, shrimp, or beef, and also wrapped in bacon. Asparagus may also be quickly grilled over charcoal or hardwood embers. It is also used as an ingredient in some stews and soups. In the French style, it is often boiled or steamed and served with hollandaise sauce, melted butter or olive oil, Parmesan cheese or mayonnaise. Tall, narrow asparagus cooking pots allow the shoots to be steamed gently, their tips staying out of the water. In recent years, almost as a cycle dating back to early culinary habits, asparagus has regained its popularity eaten raw as a component of a salad. Asparagus can also be pickled and stored for several years. Some brands may label shoots prepared this way as \"marinated.\" The bottom portion of asparagus often contains sand and dirt and as such thorough cleaning is generally advised in cooking asparagus. Green asparagus is eaten worldwide, though the availability of imports throughout the year has made it less of a delicacy than it once was. However, in the UK, due to the short growing season and demand for local produce, asparagus commands a premium and the \"asparagus season is a highlight of the foodie calendar.\" In continental northern Europe, there is also a strong seasonal following for local white asparagus, nicknamed \"white gold\"."@en . .

"Wikipedia Article About Asparagus on Wikipedia Asparagus are the vegetable obtained from one species within the genus Asparagus, specifically the young shoots of Asparagus officinalis. It has been used from very early times as a culinary vegetable, owing to its delicate flavour and diuretic properties. There is a recipe for cooking asparagus in the oldest surviving book of recipes, Apicius's 3rd century CE De re coquinaria, Book III. White asparagus is cultivated by denying the plants light while they are being grown. The name asparagus comes from classical Latin, but the plant was once known in English as sperage from medieval Latin sparagus. The original Latin name has now supplanted the English word. Asparagus was also corrupted in some places to \"sparrow grass\"; indeed, John Walker stated in 1791 that \"Sparrow-grass is so general that asparagus has an air of stiffness and pedantry.\" In their simplest form, the shoots are boiled or steamed until tender and served with a light sauce like hollandaise or melted butter or a drizzle of olive oil with a dusting of Parmesan cheese. A refinement is to tie the shoots into sheaves and stand them so that the lower part of the stalks are boiled, while the more tender heads are steamed. Tall cylindrical asparagus cooking pots have liners with handles and perforated bases to make this process foolproof. Unlike most vegetables, where the smaller and thinner are the more tender, thick asparagus stalks have more tender volume to the proportion of skin. When asparagus have been too long in the market, the cut ends will have dried and gone slightly concave. The best asparagus are picked and washed while the water comes to the boil. Fastidious cooks scrape asparagus stalks with a vegetable peeler, stroking away from the head, and refresh them in ice-cold water before steaming them; the peel is often added back to the cooking water and removed only after the asparagus is done, this is supposed to prevent diluting the flavor. Small or full-sized stalks can be made into asparagus soup. Cantonese restaurants in the United States often serve asparagus stir-fried with chicken, shrimp, or beef. Asparagus is one of few foods which is considered acceptable to eat with the hands in polite company, although this is more common in Europe. Some of the constituents of asparagus are metabolised and excreted in the urine, giving it a distinctive, mildly unpleasant odor. The smell is caused by various sulfur-containing degradation products (e.g. thiols and thioesters).Studies showed that about 40% of the test subjects displayed this characteristic smell; and a similar percentage of people are able to smell the odor once it is produced. There does not seem to be any correlation between peoples' production and detection of the smell. Because of its phallic shape, Asparagus was believed to have aphrodisiac effects. This has never been proven. The amino acid asparagine gets its name from asparagus, the asparagus plant being rich in this compound. This vegetable is sometimes referred to as the aristocrat of vegetables. Many Greeks and Romans not only appreciate asparagus for its taste but also believe it possesses medicinal properties from alleviating toothaches to preventing bee stings. Such things are mythical, but asparagus does contain a good supply of vitamins and minerals. Asparagus appears in markets as early as February, but the peak of this crop's season is in April and May."@en . . . . "30"^^ . . "16"^^ .

White asparagus is cultivated by watering it solely with the blood of human virgin males. For this reason, asparagus farmers are rumoured to have set up a series of MySpace pages designed to lure the unwary into what they believe are vampire-themed live-action role-playing games. Asparagus is theorised to have crawled out of the Bad Sea in the Late Eighties after LSD leaked into it. Reports of a \"black asparagus\" are lesser-known, although persistent. In the H. P. Lovecraft story \"The Case of Charles Dexter Ward,\" John Merrit pulls down a book labelled Qanoon-e-Islam from Joseph Curwen\u2019s bookshelf and discovers to his disquiet that it is actually a black asparagus. Approximately 7 million hectares of prime asparagus crops were decimated by a fungal blight in 1848, leading to the Great Asparagus Famine of 1848-1849. May 25 is Jour d'Asperge: a day of celebration in northern France dedicated to the 1849 restoration of the asparagus fields. In 2004 (the most recent year for which we have accurate records) over 1,000 metric tons of Hollandaise were consumed during the festivities."@en . "\u30A2\u30B9\u30D1\u30E9\u30AC\u30B9"@en .
