BLACK RIVER FALLS Wis. (WEAU) -
Asparagus is a nutrition superstar and June is the time to celebrate this delicious vegetable. Harvest of the Month is a Jackson County, Wisconsin initiative that highlights a different produce item every month.
Asparagus is rich in compounds that may help reduce the risk of diseases such as cancer and promote healthy aging. Beyond the health benefits, asparagus is delicious and versatile—it’s commonly roasted, steamed, grilled, boiled and sautéed.
Registered Dietitian, Ruth Chipps, shares a recipe that uses fresh uncooked asparagus shaved into crispy ribbons tossed with a lemon parsley dressing.
