Abstract
The Asparagaceae family, also known as the Asparagus family, is a large and diverse group of flowering plants with 153 genera comprising 2,900 species worldwide (Stevens 2020). Generally, the flowers are showy and “lily-like” with six tepals. Many Asparagaceae members are good sources of essential vitamins, minerals such as folate, vitamin K, vitamin C, and potassium, vitamin B6, and fiber. Some members also contain prebiotic inulin fiber, which helps promote gut health. However, some members contain antinutritional compounds such as Fructans, Saponins, Oxalates, etc.
