Cobbs Homegrown Asparagus: Now available!
Freshly picked off our farm in Hungerford and now on our farm shop shelves!
The asparagus season is one of our favourites and we always eagerly anticipate it’s arrival. It is however, a short but sweet season so be sure to make the most of it whilst it is here.
Delicious and nutritious
As well as being one of the tastier vegetables, asparagus is nutrient-packed too. It is full of vitamins A, C, E, and K and is a great source of fiber and folate. It is considered to have many health benefits including,
Improving digestion and relieving bloating. It’s thought to
Aiding weight loss
It’s thought to have healthy pregnancy outcomes (thanks to its high level of folic acid)
Is also a natural diuretic.
Better still it is claimed to ease a hangover AND help get you in the mood (twittwhoo!)
However, all of these fantastic health benefits start to deteriorate after it has been picked which is why it’s always best to enjoy your asparagus as fresh as possible. The fresher the better and you won’t get much fresher than our homegrown stuff!
Keep it simple!
We suggest pairing our asparagus with the extremely tasty, locally produced Atkins and Potts Hollandaise Sauce - or simply a large dollop of butter, seasoned with salt and pepper. Delicious!
