    Health benefits of Wild Asparagus

    Asparagus acutifolius commonly known as wild asparagus is an evergreen perennial plant belonging to the genus Asparagus and Liliaceae (Lily family). Although it is occasionally referred to as Chinese asparagus, wild asparagus originated in the Mediterranean. It is now a popular herb in both Chinese and Korean medicine, and grows in the mountainous regions of both countries. The root is used medicinally. Very few common names of the plant are lesser asparagus, Wild asparagus and Chinese asparagus. Wild Asparagus is actually an uncultivated asparagus that grows on its own in the wild. The specific epithet, acutifolius, meaning “thorny leaves”, is derived from Latin acutus (pointed, acute), and -folius (-leaved), and refers to the characteristic shape of the leaves, a quite common feature in the typical plants of the Mediterranean.

    Wild asparagus is very important edible plant in Mediterranean area. Main part of the plant which is used for food is shoots. It has been collected from the ancient time. It is considered an interesting crop for marginal rural areas due to its frugality, which allows it to be cultivated in arid soils, and for its already existing market. It is considered a healthy food used in folk medicine as diuretic to treat several kidney related disorders. It is consumed cooked in different dishes, although it is preferred with eggs, i.e. omelets, scrambled or poached eggs.

    Plant Description

    Wild asparagus is a creeping, evergreen, dioecious, perennial plant that grows about 1 meter tall. The plant is found growing in black soil prairies, grassy meadows, thickets, fence rows, power line clearances in wooded areas, abandoned fields, vacant lots, gravelly areas along railroads, grassy roadsides, waste areas, thickets of deciduous and coniferous trees, uncultivated land, olive groves, territories hit by fires, near woods and in uncultivated places. Typical, sandy, or gravelly habitats with a history of disturbance are preferred. The plant grows readily in soil that contains loam, sand, or gravelly material.  Stems are spiny, light gray; with many short, parallel growing branches.  There are female and male asparagus which are different in taste and length. Female asparagus is longer, thinner, branched but much bitter than male one therefore not popular.

    Leaves

    Leaves are the scales present in the main stem and clearly visible in the shoots; the cladodes (or cladofilli) are instead real branches, modified so as to be able to carry out photosynthesis, which otherwise is not carried out by the leaves. These modified branches are made up of small; needle-like structures with a sharp point, gathered in bunches.

    Flowers

    Flowers are bell-shaped and in small clusters, greenish-white to yellowish, 4.5–5.5 millimeters (0.18–0.22 in) long. The flowers are dioecious (on each plant they are only male or female). Flowering normally takes place from August to September. from the female ones the fruits will form.

    Fruits

    Fertilized female flowers are followed by small green round berries, of 5–6 millimeters (0.20–0.24 in) in diameter, which become neratre when ripe, and is toxic. Fruits are initially green to yellowish green, but they become red at maturity. Each fruit consists of 1 or 2 seeds.
