Spring is the best time to enjoy asparagus, and the Agricultural and Food Agency has provided some cooking tips to preserve its sweetness and nutrition. Taiwan mainly has green asparagus and white asparagus. Green asparagus has high moisture content and is suitable for stir-frying; white asparagus has a soft texture and is suitable for boiling or serving cold. The Agricultural and Food Agency recommends controlling the blanching time to 90 seconds and using sesame oil or olive oil for stir-frying to help absorb vitamin A. Additionally, they recommend "stir-fried asparagus" paired with sweet peppers or seafood, and "cold tossed asparagus" with sesame oil or sesame paste, encouraging everyone to make the most of seasonal ingredients and enjoy healthy and delicious spring dishes.

Spring is the best time to savor asparagus. To help everyone enjoy healthy and delicious asparagus, some cooking tips have recently been shared to ensure that the freshness and nutrients of seasonal asparagus do not get lost.

There are two types of asparagus: green asparagus and white asparagus. Green asparagus is rich in water and has a sweet flavor, making it suitable for stir-frying; while white asparagus has a tender texture and higher sweetness, making it more suitable for boiling or serving cold. Both are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins A, B group, C, as well as potassium, folic acid, and aspartic acid, making them ideal choices for healthy spring dishes.

To prevent nutrient loss, the following two key points can be followed during cooking:

• First, do not blanch for too long; it is recommended to blanch for about 90 seconds after the water boils, then quickly remove and immerse in ice water to prevent nutrient loss.
• Second, when stir-frying, adding sesame oil or olive oil can help absorb vitamin A.

In addition, I recommend two simple and delicious asparagus dishes. "Stir-fried asparagus" can be paired with bell peppers, mushrooms, or seafood, and is best made with the crunchy green asparagus; while "cold asparagus salad" can include sesame oil, sesame paste, or hollandaise sauce, and it is advised to use the sweeter white asparagus.

I hope everyone can make good use of seasonal ingredients and enjoy the delicious flavors of spring, for a healthy and worry-free experience.
