Villena asparagus are a variety of wild asparagus grown in Spain. They are characterized by their marked flavor and are harvested during spring, particularly between April and May. This type of asparagus is highly valued for its high water and fiber content, being low in calories. They are rich in vitamins A and C, and in minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium, making them allies for maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, their antioxidant and diuretic properties are beneficial for fluid elimination and the care of the nervous system. After harvesting, they should be cooked quickly to preserve their nutrients. When cooked, the resulting water is useful for soups or cooking other vegetables due to its concentrated flavor.
