About Espargos cozidos
Espargos Cozidos, or boiled asparagus, is a simple yet nutritious dish from Portuguese cuisine. Prepared by simmering fresh asparagus spears in lightly salted water until tender, this dish highlights the natural flavors and vibrant green color of the vegetable. Asparagus is low in calories and rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as folate and fiber. It’s also an excellent source of antioxidants and possesses anti-inflammatory properties, making it a heart-healthy choice that supports digestion and overall wellness. Traditional recipes may include olive oil or a sprinkle of lemon juice to enhance flavor, adding healthy fats and vitamin C. While Espargos Cozidos is inherently healthy, pairing it with rich sauces or excessive salt can increase its calorie and sodium content. Enjoyed as a side dish or appetizer, this recipe is a delicious way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet.
