Rachael Ray Recipes for Women’s Nutrition Week: Asparagus, Your Disease-Fighting Superfood
This week is Women’s Nutrition Week, and Every Day With Rachael Ray put together 4 delish dishes centered on asparagus, which is one of my favorite green foods women should eat.
From the editors:
Asparagus is one of the best foods to help fight diseases that affect women. Asparagus is especially rich in folic acid which has been linked to prevention of cervical cancer and helps prevent birth defects. Asparagus has also been shown to reduce cholesterol which helps fight heart disease, the leading killer of women.
Tips for Choosing and Preparing Asparagus:
- Choose firm, bright green stalks with tight tips
- Store upright in a glass filled with an inch of water
- Snap off the woody ends – they’ll break off naturally.
- Rinse to remove any grit, especially around the tips.
- Peel tough parts of the stem using a vegetable peeler.
Every day this week, I’ll post one of the four asparagus recipes from Every Day With Rachael Ray. The May issue will be on newsstands April 15 (tax day!) if you want more recipes.
