About ASPARAGUS SPEARS
Great Value Asparagus Spears is a canned vegetable product sold under Walmart's Great Value store brand, containing whole or tip-cut green asparagus spears preserved in a water and salt brine. This product provides a shelf-stable alternative to fresh asparagus, enabling year-round availability at a lower price point than fresh or frozen alternatives.
The ingredient list consists of three components: green asparagus, water, and salt. The use of green asparagus (as opposed to white) distinguishes the chlorophyll content and flavor profile, with green asparagus having a more pronounced, slightly grassy flavor compared to the milder white variety. Salt serves as the sole additive, functioning as a flavoring and mild preservative within the brine. No other additives are present, and the product is free of all major food allergens.
At 12 calories per 100 grams, this product is among the lowest-calorie entries in the canned vegetable category, slightly lower than other Great Value Asparagus products, possibly reflecting differences in brine-to-solid ratios or the specific asparagus variety and preparation. The product provides minimal fat and carbohydrates with a small protein contribution. Sodium content is elevated relative to unsalted fresh asparagus.
Great Value Asparagus Spears are suitable for vegetarians, vegans, and those following gluten-free diets. Rinsing before use can reduce sodium content. The product is appropriate for incorporation into salads, pasta, egg dishes, and hot vegetable sides, offering a nutritious and low-calorie addition to a wide range of meal preparations.
