I'm Back In My OLD PALACE!

After much thought, and experimentation, I've decided I like my old palace better than the new one. The new one loaded slowly, wouldn't expand pictures or show video. It was all fluff. So I'll be back here until I find something better!







Asparagus is the leading supplier among vegetables of folic acid. A 5.3 ounce serving provides 60% of the recommended daily allowance for folacin which is necessary for blood cell formation, growth, and prevention of liver disease. Folacin has been shown to play a significant role in the prevention of neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, that cause paralysis and death in 2,500 babies each year.
Its wealth of nutrients, fiber and very low sodium and calorie content make asparagus a nutritionally wise choice for today's health-conscious consumer.

Asparagus is:

* Low in calories, only 20 per 5.3 oz. serving, less than 4 calories per spear.
* Contains no fat or cholesterol.
* Very low in sodium.
* A good source of potassium.(1)
* A source of fiber (3 grams per 5.3 oz. serving). (2)
* An excellent source of folacin. (3)
* A significant source of thiamin. (4)
* A significant source of vitamin B6. (4)
* One of the richest sources of rutin, a drug which strengthens capillary walls.
* Contains glutathione (GSH). (5)
