Pesto, green

Green pesto is a prepared sauce usually made from basil, oil, nuts, hard cheese and garlic. The figures here describe the sauce as sold, rather than a meal made with it. It mainly provides fat, with smaller amounts of protein and carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 43g of fat, including 6.5g of saturated fat, and 2.1g of salt. It also provides 17mg of vitamin E.

Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative damage. Fat is a concentrated source of energy, while the saturated fat and salt content are worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Ingredients and nutrient levels can vary between products, so labels may differ from these figures. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
