Asparagus not only tastes great, but it’s also very healthy. It contains compounds called steroidal glycosides, which may help reduce inflammation (Chinese herbalists use it to treat arthritis). Asparagus also contains calcium, magnesium and iodine and is an excellent source of folic acid.
Asparagus tastes great steamed, but also does very well sauteed with peanut oil (we like to add some toasted sesame seeds just before it’s done).

Brown (i.e. almost whole grain) rice is one of the world’s healthiest foods, it tastes great, and, since we pre-cook it for you, it can be ready in less than five minutes.
Break off (literally!) as much as you’d like to eat, add a splash of water, and warm it up in a small pot on the stove.

There is speculation that hummus is one of the oldest known prepared foods. Whether or not that's true, it makes a delicious dip, appetizer, or accompaniment for grilled chicken or fish. It's also good for you. Hummus is high in iron and vitamin C, and its also a good source of protein and dietary fiber.
No preparation necessary - just serve chilled or at room temperature.
