Bruschetta is a traditional Italian appetizer consisting of toasted bread, typically rubbed with garlic and topped with a mixture of fresh diced tomatoes, olive oil, basil, and sometimes balsamic vinegar. Originating from central Italy, it’s known for its simplicity and vibrant flavors. The dish is a great source of antioxidants from fresh tomatoes and heart-healthy fats from olive oil. Basil adds essential vitamins like vitamin K, while the garlic may offer immune-supporting benefits. Bruschetta is generally low in calories and rich in nutrients, making it a healthy choice when enjoyed in moderation. However, it can become less healthy if overloaded with oil, excessive salt, or toppings high in fat. Pairing it with whole-grain bread rather than traditional white bread can increase the fiber content. Versatile and satisfying, bruschetta is celebrated for its freshness and balanced flavors in Mediterranean cuisine.
