Asparagus is an excellent vegetable for regulating transit intestinal without irritation due to its low calorie intake (29.7 kcal / 100 g), low carbohydrate, fat, and, on the contrary, fascinating proportions of protein and fiber. Asparagus is also an excellent diuretic due to its potassium/sodium ratio. Urine temporarily takes on a very unique odor after consuming asparagus. This is due to the presence of sulfur compounds, which are formed as a result of the decomposition of particular amino acids found in this vegetable.
