ASPARAGUS, CANNED

Canned Asparagus is U.S. Grade A, cuts and tips.

Pack/Yield
Asparagus is packed in a 14.5-ounce can, which yields about 1.7 ½-cup servings after cooking and draining.


Storage

    • Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place off the floor.

    • Avoid freezing or exposure to direct sunlight. Sudden changes in temperature shorten shelf life and speed deterioration.

Preparation

    • Canned asparagus should be heated only to serving temperature and served soon after heating.

    • Add flavor to canned asparagus by seasoning with herbs and spices including red pepper flakes, thyme, basil, garlic powder, or lemon juice.


Nutrition Information

    • Asparagus is an excellent source of folate and Vitamin C. Asparagus is also fat and cholesterol free.

    • 1/2 cup of asparagus provides 1 serving from the Vegetable Group of the Food Guide Pyramid.
