About EXTRA LONG ASPARAGUS SPEARS
Kroger Extra Long Asparagus Spears are a canned vegetable product under The Kroger Co.'s core Kroger private-label line. This product consists of whole asparagus spears that have been thermally processed and packed in a water-and-salt brine for shelf-stable preservation. The extra long designation refers to the length of the spears, which retain more of the stem compared to standard or cut varieties, making them useful for plated presentations and side dish service.
The ingredient list contains only three components: asparagus, water, and salt. No preservatives, flavor enhancers, thickeners, or color additives are used. The minimal ingredient profile reflects a straightforward water-pack canning process. Salt contributes to flavor and acts as a mild preservative within the brine. Consumers monitoring sodium intake should note the added salt content, which is typical of commercially canned vegetables.
Nutritionally, asparagus is a low-calorie, nutrient-dense vegetable, and this canned version retains much of that profile: 15 calories per 100 grams with 1.54 grams of protein, 2.31 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fat, and 0.8 grams of dietary fiber. Asparagus is a natural source of folate, vitamin K, and the prebiotic inulin, though some water-soluble nutrients may be reduced during the canning process. This product is suitable for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, low-fat, and low-calorie dietary patterns. It is most commonly served as a side vegetable, added to pasta, salads, or casseroles. Allergen note: no major allergens present.
