All about asparagus > Health and nutrition
Depurative, laxative, diuretic (due to its high potassium level) and tonic, green and purple asparagus has one of the highest antioxidant contents of commonly-eaten vegetables.
Asparagus also has a high level of folate (vitamin B9), ranking fifth for content after beef liver and certain kinds of legumes. To put it in concrete terms, five spears of cooked asparagus contain about 25% of our daily folate requirement. It’s also an excellent source of vitamin K and a good source of iron.
