About Green pesto
Green pesto is a flavorful Italian sauce traditionally made from fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and occasionally Pecorino Romano. Originating from Italy’s Liguria region, this vibrant condiment is known for its rich savory taste and versatility, often used with pasta, sandwiches, or as a marinade. Nutritionally, green pesto is a source of healthy fats, primarily from olive oil and nuts, which support heart health and provide energy. Basil contributes antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, while garlic is known for its immunity-boosting benefits. However, pesto is calorie-dense and can be high in sodium, primarily due to the Parmesan cheese and added salt, making portion control key for balanced consumption. Opting for homemade recipes or low-sodium store versions may help reduce less healthy aspects while retaining its unique flavor. An excellent choice for elevating dishes with a taste of Italy!
