The foundational ingredients of pesto are fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and a pinch of salt—and Besto makes its version without any nuts or seed oils. This nut-free, gluten-free pesto is made with some of the staples of classic pesto but not all, and it swaps select ingredients for extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, spinach, black pepper and red crushed chili flakes. This fresh and versatile pesto is made to be savored on everything from pasta and pizza to sandwiches and eggs.
Some consumers are turning against seed oils because they associate them with inflammation, poor health, and heavily processed ingredients. As a result, many are actively seeking out products formulated without seed oils to support cleaner, more natural diets and better overall wellness.
