Asparagus contains more cancer-fighting antioxidants, if you want to eat raw, no problem at all, but it is good to combine raw asparagus with feta cheese, parmesan, or radish.
Q. Can you eat all of the asparagus?
A. Yes, you have to cut with a knife the woody part of the stem, except for the bottom of the stalk that is very tight and chewy, and with a peeler or knife, peel the tough green outer layer to the tip. If you want to eat raw but some steam will keep me crunchy and delicious.
