Recipe: Asparagus with Lemon Sauce

Asparagus is one of the leading suppliers of folic acid in the vegetable world. Folate is necessary for the production and maintenance of new cells and is especially important during periods of rapid cell division and growth such as infancy and pregnancy. Along with folic acid, asparagus is also a good source of potassium and fiber.

A 5 ounce serving of asparagus contains 3 grams protein, 3 grams carbohydrate and 3 grams of fiber with only 5 mg of sodium and zero fat!

This asparagus with lemon sauce recipe has just the right amount of tangyness and is a nice addition to any meal.

Broccoli Lentil Soup With Roasted Pepper Coulis

The lentil is a brushy annual plant of the legume family, grown for its lens-shaped seeds. With 26% protein, lentil is the vegetable with the highest level of protein other than soybeans, and because of this it is a very important part of the diet in many parts of the world, and especially South Asia which has a large vegetarian population. Apart from a high level of proteins, lentils also contain dietary fiber, vitamin B1, and minerals. Red lentils contain a lower concentration of fiber than green lentils and Health magazine has selected lentils as one of the five healthiest foods. I hope you Enjoy this Broccoli Lentil soup recipe.
