This is another little that can be taken as food and appetizer at the same time, and since ancient times it has been a history full of honor and popularity, the Pharaohs and the Romans knew it and expanded in its cultivation, and it passed by and those who hid through it in the abysses of forgetfulness until it returned to its appearance in the sixteenth century, and received great and special care In European royal palaces, some people shined in eating it and created it for that a special "thorn".
The ancient doctors mentioned about asparagus properties that regulate the movement of the heart: modern medicine came to confirm this, and to add to it the ability of asparagus to give its eater strong resistance to fatigue, as it was mentioned that a professional boxer was able to enter the boxing ring five times in five consecutive days without getting tired, Because of his desire to eat asparagus, and the important medical examination announced years ago about the emergence of magnesium and potassium "helions", heralded the emergence of a new drug that fights fatigue and revitalizes the body.
Asparagus should be chosen so that it is soft, juicy, dewy, firm, and not flaccid, and if it is the opposite, then it is old and has been harvested for several days. A fully ripe asparagus is the one whose heads are colored a slight pink color, and if time has elapsed on it, its color will turn yellow and its limbs sag. If we want to keep it soft, we must wrap it in a damp cloth and then place it in a cool place.
As for peeling asparagus, it should be done gently and gently, then washed with cold water, and packed in small ties so that it does not break and crumble, then thrown into boiling water with little salt and cooked for a period of 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the size or delicacy of the market.
