Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables. I have noticed that after eating asparagus the urine produced is very pungent - always wondered why. Come to find out that asparagus contains the diuretic asparagine which helps to eliminate water through the kidneys. It can treat many kinds of kidney problems, but should not be eaten if kidneys are inflamed. Too much asparagus can irritate the kidneys.

My favorite way of eating asparagus is to sauté it in butter (real butter not margarine). Cook it to desired tenderness. Add any other vegetables like onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc. Whatever are your favorites. Then add eggs and scramble. This is a very healthy, low glycemic breakfast or dinner.
