Cultivated for more than 2,000 years, asparagus was referred to as the "Food of Kings" by its Mediterranean originators. Rich in folacin and other crucial anti-oxidants and chock full of flavor and Vitamins A and C, it's easy to see how asparagus earned this noble name. And as more and more people discover the nutritional benefits of asparagus, its popularity and demand continue to grow.
