Torta Verde is a savory vegetable pie originating from Ligurian cuisine in northern Italy. Traditionally made with a delicate pastry crust filled with a nutrient-rich blend of greens such as chard, spinach, or zucchini, it may also include herbs, rice, eggs, cheese, and olive oil. This dish highlights the Mediterranean diet's emphasis on fresh, plant-based ingredients and healthy fats. High in vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the greens, it supports digestion and overall well-being. The olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while the eggs and cheese contribute valuable protein and calcium. However, its nutritional balance depends on portion size and preparation; the cheese and pastry crust can add significant calories, saturated fat, and refined carbohydrates. Torta Verde is a flavorful way to enjoy vegetables and is best complemented with a light salad or as part of a balanced meal.
