About Vegan pesto
Vegan pesto is a plant-based twist on the classic Italian sauce, originating from Genoa in Northern Italy. Traditionally made with basil, olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, the vegan version substitutes the cheese with nutritional yeast or other dairy-free alternatives to maintain its creamy texture and savory flavor. Packed with fresh basil and garlic, vegan pesto is rich in antioxidants and supports heart health, while olive oil provides healthy fats. Pine nuts contribute protein and essential vitamins like magnesium and vitamin E. It's naturally gluten-free and free from animal products, making it suitable for various dietary needs. However, be mindful of portion sizes, as the olive oil and nuts can be calorie-dense. Vegan pesto is a versatile and nutritious condiment that pairs well with pasta, salads, sandwiches, or as a flavorful dip or spread.
