About Pesto sauce
Pesto sauce is a vibrant green condiment originating from Italian cuisine, specifically the Liguria region. Traditionally made by blending fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil, it delivers a rich, aromatic flavor profile. Pesto is celebrated for its nutrient-rich ingredients; basil provides antioxidants and vitamin K, while olive oil contributes healthy monounsaturated fats that support heart health. Pine nuts offer protein and essential minerals such as magnesium and zinc. However, pesto is relatively high in calories and sodium due to the cheese and oil content, which may require moderation in a balanced diet. Often served with pasta, drizzled over vegetables, or used as a spread, pesto is a versatile and delicious way to enrich meals with wholesome ingredients.
