Asparagus Song - Official Music Video

A fun song about the amazing vegetable that is asparagus. Includes scientific facts about the plant.
Asparagus or Asparagus officinalis has a nick name of sparrow grass. In the past the plant was placed in the lily family, however as genetic testing technology developed we found that it is separate from lilies. While not a Liliaceae it is a remarkable plant. Some people make tea out of asparagus and can be used in cooking other dishes. Growing asparagus without light causes them to grow white. If you ever see white asparagus it is normal asparagus that the shoots has been grown in the dark. Enjoy this song about asparagus.

Why does it smell like that after I eat it?
Asparagusic acid breaks down to make a volatile compound that you smell after eating asparagus. Some people do not produce the smell afterwards. We still do not know why, it might be that they do not digest asparagusic acid, and it does not break down in their digestive track.
