Canned Asparagus, Drained

Canned Asparagus, Drained

EverydayCannedDrained

Canned asparagus, drained, is a preserved form of asparagus that undergoes heat processing and sterilization in liquid before being drained of its canning liquid. While softer in texture than fresh asparagus, it retains notable fiber and folate content, though some heat-sensitive nutrients like vitamin C are reduced. The canning process typically adds sodium, making portion awareness important for sodium-restricted diets, but it provides a shelf-stable option for salads, soups, or quick vegetable sides.
