Each month, our Great Performances menus feature seasonal ingredients. It’s our way of celebrating the earth and bringing our special touch to every menu.

Asparagus is good for our gut. Asparagus provides prebiotics, a type of fiber. A way of eating rich in prebiotics supports our good gut bacteria and may help improve blood cholesterol and blood sugar control.

Asparagus supports many body functions. Asparagus is a good source of iron, an essential nutrient that makes up hemoglobin, a protein involved in transporting oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Asparagus is also an excellent source of folate, a B vitamin that supports the body in making new, healthy cells.

Chef Andrew Smith, our Culinary Director, created a delicious Asparagus dish for us.
