About Brusqueta

Bruschetta is a classic Italian appetizer made from grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with a mixture of diced tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil, and sometimes balsamic vinegar. This dish originates from Italy, where it was traditionally used to showcase fresh, seasonal produce and highlight the quality of olive oil. Bruschetta is a healthy choice overall, as it features antioxidant-rich ingredients like tomatoes and heart-healthy olive oil. Fresh basil adds vitamins A and K, promoting skin health and proper blood clotting. The bread provides energy-boosting carbohydrates, though its healthiness depends on the type used; whole-grain bread offers additional fiber compared to white bread. While generally light, bruschetta’s calorie content can increase if topped heavily with oil or cheese. Overall, bruschetta balances flavor and nutrition, making it an accessible and wholesome small plate option.
