Hostesses in the United States are accustomed to serving the green variety to their guests; however in Holland, Belgium and Germany no hostess would be satisfied serving anything but the whitest of asparagus.
Dieters find this delicate spring vegetable a real treat. Four spears (a half-inch in diameter), cooked and drained, have only 10 calories. In addition, they contain 30 milligrams of phosphorous, 110 milligrams of niacin, 540 units of vitamin A and 13 milligrams of calcium. Truly this is a nutritious vegetable for everyone!
