Green pestos: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Green pestos are sauces typically made from basil, pine nuts, garlic, hard cheese, and olive oil. They are often used as a pasta sauce, spread for sandwiches, or as a flavouring for other dishes. When choosing a green pesto, it's helpful to look at the nutrition information on the packaging. Pay attention to the salt content, as pesto can be quite salty due to the cheese and added salt. The NHS Eatwell Guide advises adults to consume no more than 6g of salt per day. You may also wish to check the fat content, particularly saturated fat, and the ingredients list to see the order of ingredients. Olive oil is a key component, and its position in the list can indicate its proportion in the product. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
