Days of asparagus

Asparagus is one of the most appreciated wild plant varieties growing in Istria. Since it grows in less accessible places, often protected by thorny bushes, its picking requires eye of a hawk, iron will and not being afraid of an occasional scratch.  

Asparagus is a well-known keeper of health and in terms of nutrition, an excellently balanced foodstuff. We need not neglect the fact that this wonderful plant has been considered an aphrodisiac from times immemorial due to its high vitamin E content, often spoken of as the fertility vitamin.
