The Mystery of Asparagus Pee

I have a love hate relationship with asparagus. I love the taste, and I hate the side effects. Turns out that scientists have been exploring the “pee-culiar” smell of asparagus pee since the 1700s. And now, thanks to experiments that include smelling pee after eating different foods, AND a special sniffer machine, we’re a little closer to uncovering the reasons behind this odoriferous issue. Plus you’ll hear a bunch of scientific pee puns. What could be better? 🙂  Enjoy!

Oh – and Minute Earth is doing their own research on Asparagus pee and we can help. Take the survey!

I am the founder, editor and publisher of On Pasture, now retired. My career spanned 40 years of finding creative solutions to problems, and sharing ideas with people that encouraged them to work together and try new things. From figuring out how to teach livestock to eat weeds, to teaching range management to high schoolers, outdoor ed graduation camping trips with fifty 6th graders at a time, building firebreaks with a 130-goat herd, developing the signs and interpretation for the Storm King Fourteen Memorial trail, receiving the Conservation Service Award for my work building the 150-mile mountain bike trail from Grand Junction, Colorado to Moab, Utah...well, the list is long so I'll stop with, I've had a great time and I'm very grateful.
