Cabbage is the king of nutrition (its close relatives cabbage and Brussels sprouts are not inferior).

Asparagus asparagus

Spring is the peak season for asparagus The ancients said that "time waits for no one to eat", and diet should follow the laws of nature. Asparagus has too many functions and is praised as a healthy anti-cancer food by nutritionists. Eating more is good. Asparagus is rich in folic acid and is a health food that pregnant women can't miss. There are also many ways, such as cooking, salad, boiling and baking, which are all suitable.

Little Popular Science: After eating asparagus, you will find that urine has a strange smell. This is because asparagus has a very special acid, commonly known as asparagus acid. After it is decomposed and metabolized in the body, it produces some sulfur-containing substances, the most important of which is methyl mercaptan. Methylthiol is a volatile gas emitted from urine. This strange smell is mainly caused by it.

The content of superoxide dismutase (SOD) is very high, and it is also rich in vitamins and minerals. Has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving cough, clearing away dryness, moistening lung, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, and inducing diuresis.
