Asparagus Special - $3.50/lb

This weekend the Asparagus patch has gone bonkers!  Before the heat sends it hiding for summer, come stock up on some mega-healthy green-goodness! Through Monday, we'll have Asparagus on sale at $3.50/lb ($4.50 regularly.)

Besides its supreme flavor, Asparagus packs a punch when it comes to its health properties.  Asparagus is loaded with fiber, folate, vitamins A, C, E and K, as well as chromium.    It is rich in glutathione and the amino acid asparagine.  

How do we like to to prepare Asparagus?

      * Coated in olive oil and herbs and grilled 
      * Stir-fried and served over steamed rice
