Asparagus is a good source of betacarotene, which has antioxidant properties, folic acid and vitamin C. It is low in calories, just 24 per 100g, and high in fibre. It also contains vitamin B9, which is good to eat if you are planning a baby as lack of this vitamin can increase the risk of spina bifida.
