My Sauteed Asparagus With Crabsticks

1. Asparagus is a very good source of fiber, folate, vitamins A, C, E and K, as well as chromium, a trace mineral that improve the ability of insulin to transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells.

2. It can help fight cancer: This blooming plant—along with avocado, kale and Brussels sprouts—is a particularly rich source of glutathione, a detoxifying compound that helps break down carcinogens and other toxic compounds like free radicals. This is why eating asparagus may help protect against and fight certain forms of cancer, such as bone, breast, colon, larynx and lung cancers.

One of the simplest recipes to make over is garlic butter sauteed asparagus. You don’t even need to pre-heat or use your oven to roast because this recipe takes only 10 minutes and the taste is absolutely delectable. Just saute the asparagus with some butter, lots of garlic, and season with salt, pepper! If you like, add a squirt or two of lemon juice. Add crabsticks. Just Like that.
