Properties of white asparagus:
White asparagus is a staple food, which is why we may not be very curious about its
properties and health benefits. However, this is a big mistake because we tend to undervalue everything this delicious product can do for us (which is a lot).
Asparagus is the tender part of the asparagus plant, and there are two main varieties: green and white.
White asparagus grows underground, hence its color and the main difference from green asparagus or wild asparagus.
Benefits of white asparagus:
White asparagus has numerous properties and health benefits:
- They are good during pregnancy due to their high content of vitamin B9 (Folic Acid), preventing diseases and malformations in the fetus.

- In addition, white asparagus contains phenols and flavonoids that are very healthy for our liver, as they stimulate liver enzymes that protect the liver itself.
- White asparagus contains 95% water, making it an ideal food for any type of diet due to its diuretic effect. It also contains a chemical compound called asparaginine, which stimulates urine production to eliminate toxins. This also prevents fluid retention.
