[edit] About Asparagus
Asparagus is the green, stalk vegetable of a flowering plant bearing the same name, believed to be a native plant throughout Europe.
Generally, the roots as opposed to the shoots of this plant are used in cooking and are thought to also be of medicinal value in the treatment of various ailments such as arthritis.
Asparagus is served steamed, blanched or roasted in soups, salads, or plain. To remove the tough portion of the stalk, bend the asparagus; the stem will snap at the right spot.
