Pesto Sauce

Pesto sauce is a popular Italian sauce made with basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. It has a nutty and herbal flavor that is often used to add zing to pasta dishes, sandwiches, and bruschetta.
Pesto sauce is high in vitamins and minerals, with basil being a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and calcium. Pine nuts are high in protein, healthy fats, and iron, while olive oil is a good source of monounsaturated fats, which can lower bad cholesterol levels. Parmesan cheese also provides calcium and protein. However, pesto sauce is high in calories and should be consumed in moderation. A serving size of pesto sauce is typically 2 tablespoons or 30 grams, which has about 120 calories, 12 grams of fat, and 3 grams of carbohydrates. Enjoy pesto sauce as a delicious way to add flavor and nutrients to your meals!
