Put Some Respect On My Name: Asparagus

Ok, so I am on Facebook today and speaking to a friend, Sadie. She is the most versatile woman I know. She hunts, has a garden, and does hair. And we are chatting about Asparagus! She mentioned that she plants it but has another before she will see a harvest!  She then shared that it takes up to 3 years to grow but can produce for up to 40 years. WHAT! 

I can not tell you how many times I have skipped passed getting Asparagus. I actually did this during my last shop at Lidl. These were my exact thoughts; "Why is this so damn much? I mean do I really want to Asparagus? Nahhhhhh! I'll just get some eggplant LOL." 

Now I understand why they are so expensive. I mean think about that! You are planting your crop and can not see it for the next 3 years? Huh? Do you know how much patience that would have to take? Faith would be a requirement on the next level. As a matter of fact, shout out to all the Asparagus Farmers out there. 

I am so excited about this NEW found info. You may be thinking, "Dang, she didn't know that?" No, I did not and if you did not I hope this makes you look at Asparagus in a different way! 

Not to mention all the health benefits : 
Asparagus is very rich in dietary fiber and contains high levels of vitamin B6, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. The potential health benefits of asparagus include: reducing the risk of diabetes, preventing kidney stones, and lowering the risk of neural tube defects in babies.

Watch the two videos for more info on Asparagus.  I found to be informative and interesting!

If you are a dork like me I am sure you will find it to be valuable.
