The thousand virtues (and thousand uses) of asparagus

Do you love cooking them Bismarck style, topped with a fried egg? Or do you prefer them simply boiled, with a drizzle of oil and a sprinkling of grated cheese? Have you ever tried them vegan, with seitan deglazed with cognac and pink peppercorns? However you like them, you'll have to hurry: asparagus season begins in late March and ends in early June.

The Bianco di Padova, the Rosa di Mezzago, the Violetto di Albenga, the Verde di Mambrotta, and the small, bitter wild asparagus: wherever they come from, asparagus is a vegetable with a thousand virtues, and if you haven't cooked them yet, do so before it's too late!

There are many reasons: they're very low in calories and high in fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B, minerals, and folic acid. They're diuretics, so they fight water retention and help you regain health and physical fitness. They're even considered aphrodisiacs, have antidepressant properties, and are good for your mood. In short, they're precious vegetables, as long as you cook them properly. Yes, because it's easy to say, "Asparagus tonight!": do you have any asparagus?
