Pesto verde
Product Insights
Pesto verde is an organic green basil pesto from France, marketed by Prosain and sold in Biocoop stores. It belongs to the Fat and sauces / Dressings and sauces groups, carries a Nutri‑Score of E and is classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4), reflecting its very high fat (47 g/100 g), saturated fat (8.8 g/100 g) and modest salt (2 g/100 g) content while sugars are low. The formula offers some positives such as fresh basil, extra‑virgin olive oil, 3.1 g of fiber and 5.6 g of protein per 100 g, but it also contains dairy (Parmigiano Reggiano) and cashew nuts, which are common allergens, and the high saturated‑fat level detracts from its overall health profile.
