But it makes it easy to chew the tough end and the little ones have no excuse not to eat it. It adds an extra step to prep but I find my kids don't have to fight over the flower end and gobble up the whole stalk instead.<br />PamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091263855931534621.post-31642297705096368092012-03-22T14:05:20.733-04:002012-03-22T14:05:20.733-04:00Honestly, I have never heard or read anything abou...Honestly, I have never heard or read anything about asparagus being poisonous. My family has eaten it for years (in fact, it's one of my kids' favorite vegetables) and we're all still here :) Most recipes do recommend that you break off the tough end (the opposite end of the "flower") of each stalk before cooking, but only because it's hard to chew...not because it's poisonous. Asparagus is even on the "clean 15" list...a list of fruits and vegetables that contain the lowest amounts of pesticide, so are not worth buying organic. My personal opinion is that you should try it and see what you think :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458546204327439966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091263855931534621.post-53791704113371234752012-03-22T12:52:01.134-04:002012-03-22T12:52:01.134-04:00HI Lisa, I have a bit of odd question for you, I h...HI Lisa, I have a bit of odd question for you, I have never cooked asparagus ... Only because some one told me a long time ago that one end of it is poisonous, is that true? If so which end?<br /><br />I see several recipes that look great that have asparagus int<br /> Them, but will not try it because of the "Story" from long ago. After you get through laughing, I would love you thoughts on this...<br /><br />Rebecca<br />Swappin' SpoonsSwappin' Spoonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834891863357513646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091263855931534621.post-86969698116615955072012-03-07T18:28:01.320-05:002012-03-07T18:28:01.320-05:00Hi Lisa....tried your tilapia!
