Sun-dried tomato pesto is a flavorful Italian condiment made from sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, fresh basil, Parmesan cheese, and sometimes pine nuts or almonds. Originating from traditional Italian cuisine, this vibrant pesto offers a rich, tangy taste with a hint of sweetness and savory depth. It is packed with nutrients from sun-dried tomatoes, which are a concentrated source of antioxidants like lycopene and vitamin C. Olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while the herbs and garlic contribute anti-inflammatory properties. However, it may be high in sodium depending on preparation, and the addition of cheese increases saturated fat content. Sun-dried tomato pesto can be a versatile topping for pasta, sandwiches, or roasted vegetables, providing bold flavor while offering nutritional benefits when consumed in moderation.
