Asparagus, raw

Asparagus is a vegetable eaten for its young stems. These figures describe raw asparagus with the tough bases of the stems removed. It consists mainly of water, with small amounts of protein and carbohydrate. Per 100g, it provides 103 kJ of energy, 2.9g of protein, 175µg of folate and 12mg of vitamin C.

Folate supports normal blood cell formation and is needed for cell division. Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from plant foods and supports normal skin and connective tissue. Raw asparagus contains little fat or saturated fat, although cooking with butter or oil changes its nutritional content. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
