If you asked us to pick the strangest of common vegetables, asparagus would be on the top of the list. What other veggie looks like a spear, spouts on its own first thing in spring, and triggers funky-smelling chemical reactions in the human body? But its strangeness shouldn’t deter you from trying this healthy vegetable. Asparagus is actually very quick to prep and cook - much easier than other common vegetables, such as onions or bell peppers.
