7. Asparagus

The fleshy green spears of asparagus are both succulent and tender and have been considered a delicacy since ancient times. It’s not surprising to see asparagus being heralded as an anti-inflammatory food because it provides a truly unique combination of anti-inflammatory nutrients. Among these anti-inflammatory nutrients are asparagus saponins, including asparanin A, sarsasapogenin, protodioscin, and diosgenin.
