About Vegan basil pesto

Vegan Basil Pesto is a flavorful, plant-based twist on the classic Italian sauce. Rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, it features fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, nutritional yeast, olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon for brightness. Nutritional yeast replaces the traditional Parmesan cheese, offering a cheesy taste while being rich in B vitamins. Olive oil serves as a source of healthy monounsaturated fats, supporting heart health. Meanwhile, pine nuts provide protein, magnesium, and antioxidants, which contribute to energy support and cellular health. Basil and garlic add anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties to this vibrant green sauce. Though nutrient-packed, it’s important to enjoy pesto in moderation due to its higher caloric density from nuts and olive oil. Perfect for topping pasta, stirring into soups, or spreading on sandwiches, Vegan Basil Pesto is a wholesome addition to a balanced, plant-based diet.
