Homemade Pesto (Light, Reduced Oil)
Homemade Pesto (Light, Reduced Oil) is a green Italian condiment traditionally made from basil, pine nuts, cheese and oil; this light, reduced-oil version keeps the classic punch of herb and garlic while using less fat. It is calorie-dense and flavorful, and also a notable source of vitamin K (210µg per 100g), reflecting its high basil/green content. Nutritionally it delivers healthy unsaturated fats and some plant protein from nuts and cheese, along with concentrated flavor so small amounts go a long way. Overall, this pesto provides useful micronutrients and a good-quality amino acid profile from the cheese and nuts, but because it’s used as a rich condiment it’s best enjoyed in modest portions.
