Those women who are pregnant can benefit from eating asparagus. This is because the veggie is a great source of vitamin B9 or folate. A cup of boiled asparagus can provide up to 35 percent of the daily recommended intake. This nutrient plays a key role in the production of red blood cells and DNA for normal development and growth of the feces. These effects can be most powerful during the early stages when the babies need more nutrients. Adding asparagus to the diet can also prevent the risks of some neural tube defects and other complications at birth. [7]
