About Wholegrain pesto

Wholegrain Pesto combines the rich, nutty flavor of traditional basil pesto with the wholesome benefits of whole grains. This vibrant sauce originates from Italian cuisine, where pesto is a staple for adding fresh, aromatic flavor to pasta, bread, and roasted vegetables. Classic recipes include basil, olive oil, garlic, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese, but wholegrain versions often incorporate grains like quinoa or bulgur for added texture and nutrients. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from the basil and garlic, pesto is also a source of heart-healthy fats from olive oil and nuts. While flavorful and nutritious, pesto can be high in calories and sodium due to the cheese and oil content, so portion control is key. This versatile condiment allows you to enjoy the essence of Mediterranean cooking while incorporating whole grains for a more fiber-rich, satisfying meal option.
