    Asparagus contains an indigestible natural fructan carbohydrate, inulin, which is the “growth factor” of probiotics in the large intestine. Eating one meal of asparagus daily provides 60% of the recommended daily intake of folic acid, which helps reduce the risk of heart disease. Tip: Trim the residue at the bottom of the asparagus stalk and store it vertically in a container with a small amount of water to keep it fresh, just like a flower arrangement.
