Yes, asparagus is a low-calorie food, in 100g, it has only 20kcal, being an excellent ally of weight loss diets, in addition it is a source of vitamins A, C, B complex and minerals such as calcium, iron and potassium. It is rich in inulin, a nutrient present in asparagus with the power to improve intestinal transit, has a diuretic effect and has antioxidant action. Asparagus becomes stringy, wilted and quickly loses its characteristic flavor, therefore, it is preferable to consume the fresh ones.

You can definitely eat fresh asparagus both cooked and raw. Asparagus is typically cooked though because of its super dense and tough texture however, if sliced thinly this can be enjoyed raw.
