Asparagus Wrapped In Prosciutto is a classic appetizer that originates from Italian cuisine. This dish features tender asparagus spears enveloped in thin slices of salty, cured prosciutto. Often baked or grilled, the pairing creates a delightful balance between the earthy freshness of asparagus and the savory richness of the prosciutto. Asparagus provides a good source of fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, along with folate and antioxidants that support overall health. On the other hand, prosciutto is high in protein and offers a smoky flavor, but it is relatively high in sodium and saturated fat, which may need moderation if consumed regularly. This dish is naturally low-carb, making it a popular choice for keto or paleo diets. While indulgent, it can be part of a balanced diet when paired with wholesome sides or eaten in moderation.
