In May, even the coolest parts of the northern hemisphere start to see more local fruit and vegetable options sprout up. Keep your eyes open for these top-five delicious May eats:
ASPARAGUS
Asparagus can grow an unbelievable 6–10 inches a day in springtime. Just 1/2-cup serving of the stalky green delivers 1/3 of the folate you need each day. A key nutrient for women of childbearing age, folate is essential for cell growth and development and can help prevent certain birth defects. And at just 20 calories per serving, asparagus is also a good source of potassium and vitamins A and C.
吃芦笋生菜是沙拉的松脆添加或用土耳其包裹的。用橄榄油，盐和胡椒粉将其淋上，以烘烤配菜。

朝鲜蓟
If you’ve only had artichokes as part of the popularspinach, artichoke and cheese dip, then you might be missing out on the incredible flavor and nutrition benefits artichokes provide. Artichokes are also a good source of fiber, vitamin C, folate and magnesium. Choose artichokes that are heavy for their size, which indicates they are well hydrated.
Try grilling artichokes for a healthy side dish. Simply coat the artichokes with olive oil, salt, pepper or your favorite seasonings and grill until softened. You can also use roasted or boiled artichoke leaves as an edible scoop for hummus or other dips.
