asparagus

[HeadHunter9]

Do any of yall eat asparagus, I cooked this up yesterday for my ppwo meal and it was pretty awesome!

[SAT10]

I eat it pretty much every night because it's so easy. Grab about a half a pound, cut them chumps in half and throw them in the steamer basket. That actually looks like a pretty typical dinner for me, except I usually cut the sweet potato into medallions and fry them up.

Asparagus is by far my favorite food up there with eggs and steamed spinach.

I love it. I can't eat it very often because I'm in a dorm but when I get my apartment or house...let the cooking begin!

I mix it with just a small sample of minced garlic and a dash of cayenne.

[Mr-Paradox]

I love it but I am not a fan of how my urine smells after I have it. Great with Salmon and green beans/new potatoes

[Daniepwils]

I eat it every week. I don't like the way my pee smells right after eating it though.

Not 100% proven but something to take into consideration

THE ARTICLE:
Several years ago, I had a man seeking asparagus for a friend who had cancer.He gave me a photocopied copy of an article, entitled, `Asparagus for cancer' printed in Cancer News Journal, .

I will share it here, just as it was shared with me:'I am a biochemist,and have specialized in the relation of diet to health for over 50 years..Several years ago, I learned of the discovery of Richard R. Vensal, D.D.S. that asparagus might cure cancer.

Since then, I have worked with him on his project. We have
accumulated a number of favorable case histories.

Here are a few examples:

Case No. 1, A man with an almost hopeless case of Hodgkin's disease (cancer of the lymph glands) who was completely incapacitated. Within 1 year of starting the asparagus therapy, his doctors were unable to detect any signs of cancer, and he was back on a schedule of strenuous exercise.

Case No. 2, a successful businessman 68 years old who suffered from cancer of the bladder for 16 years. After years of medical treatments, including radiation without improvement, he went on asparagus. Within 3 months, examinations revealed that his bladder tumor had disappeared and that his kidneys were normal.

Case No. 3, a man who had lung cancer. On


March 5th , he was put on the operating table where they found lung cancer so widely spread that it was inoperable. The surgeon sewed him up and declared his case hopeless. On April 5th he heard about the asparagus therapy and immediately started taking it.By August, x-ray pictures revealed that all signs of the cancer had disappeared.. He is back at his regular business routine.

Case No.. 4, a woman who was troubled for a number of years with skin cancer. She finally developed different skin cancers which were diagnosed by asking specialist as advanced.... Within 3 months after starting on asparagus, her skin specialist said that her skin looked fine and no more skin lesions. This woman reported that the asparagus therapy also cure her kidney disease, which started in 1949. She had over 10 operations for kidney stones, and was receiving government disability payments for an inoperable, terminal, kidney condition She attributes the cure of this kidney trouble entirely to the asparagus.

I was not surprised at this result, as `The elements of materia medica', edited in 1854 by a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania , stated that asparagus was used as a popular
remedy for kidney stones He even referred to experiments, in 1739, on the power of asparagus in dissolving stones.

We would have other case histories but the medical establishment has interfered with our obtaining some of the records. I am therefore appealing to readers to spread this good news and help us to gather a large number of case histories that will overwhelm the medical skeptics about this unbelievably simple and natural remedy.

For the treatment,asparagus should be cooked before using, and therefore canned asparagus is just as good as fresh. I have corresponded with the two leading canners of asparagus, Giant and Stokely, and I am satisfied that these brands contain no pesticides or preservatives.

Place the cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy to make a puree, and store in the refrigerator. Give the patient 4 full tablespoons twice daily, morning and evening.

Patients usually show some improvement in from 2-4 weeks. It can be diluted with water and used as a cold or hot drink. This suggested dosage is based on present experience, but certainly larger amounts can do no harm and may be needed in some cases.

As a biochemist I am convinced of the old saying that `what cures can prevent' Based on this theory, my wife and I have been using asparagus puree as a beverage with our meals.

We take 2 tablespoons diluted in water to suit our taste with breakfast and with dinner. I take mine hot and my wife prefers hers cold. For years we have made it a practice to have blood surveys taken as part of our regular checkups..

The last blood survey, taken by a medical doctor who specializes in the nutritional approach to health, showed substantial improvements in all categories over the last one, and we can attribute these improvements to nothing but the asparagus drink...

As a biochemist, I have made an extensive study of all aspects of cancer, and all of the proposed cures. As a result, I am convinced that asparagus fits in better with the latest theories about cancer. Asparagus contains a good supply of protein called histones,which are believed to be active in controlling cell growth.. For that reason, I believe asparagus can be said to contain a substance that I call cell growth normalizer. That accounts
for its action on cancer and in acting as a general body tonic.

In any event, regardless of theory, asparagus used as we suggest, is a harmless substance. The FDA cannot prevent you from using it and it may do you much good.

It has been reported by the US National Cancer Institute, that asparagus is the highest tested food containing glutathione, which is considered one of the body's most potent anticarcinogens and antioxidants.

[Beech27]

There are a million ways to cook up asparagus and enjoy the result. But dammit if it wasn't made to be married with butter.

[Sami76]

Ooh, I'm getting some recipe ideas in here! The only things I've ever done with asparagus is bake it with lemon juice or put into soup. Asparagus is one tasty veggie.

[blitzen25bm]

Asparagus is one of my favorites.

1. Salt, pepper and olive oil then onto the grill
2. Soy sauce, brown sugar and sesame seeds then roast in oven. Little lemon juice before serving.

I don't cook them as much as you though, I like them pretty green still.

[ThePeach]

First time I tried them today, yummy!!


Panfried them in a little bit of avocado oil, a pinch of salt and some thyme.
And added some pecan nuts to the mix near the end. 2 minutes, done.
Crunchy stuff, the whole lot!

blanch
refresh in ice water
toss in olive oil, or lemon dressing with some sea salt
griddle on a dry cast iron griddle pan
you will not have tasted nicer.

Asparagus is awesome. It's great steamed or sauteed. Also, I guess I'm the only one here that actually derives some kind of childish entertainment from the fact that it makes my urine smell funny.
