Asparagus – my favourite food is now abundant locally – not only is it better nutritionally  to to buy local seasonal food – it is so much better for the environment. So, make the most of the short asparagus season – it is a rich source of folic acid – so important in pregnancy and for heart health. It is also a rich source of potassium, so excellent for elimination of fluid, detoxification & lowering blood pressure……….. so buy your local asparagus and enjoy while it lasts.
