Is pesto pasta healthy?
Most of the fat in pesto is coming from oil and nuts, so you’re getting the heart-healthy kind. There is some saturated fat in pesto too, thanks to the cheese, but not a lot.
Is pesto healthy to eat everyday?
It’s true that eating large amounts of pesto every day can lead to weight gain. It could also introduce too much salt into your diet, which is known to contribute to high blood pressure, strokes, and heart disease.
Is pesto healthy in moderation?
After all, any sauce that contains high quantities of oil, nuts, and cheese can never hope to be found in the health-food aisle. However, despite its reputation, nutritionists agree that if consumed in moderation, pesto is healthy, and its benefits far outweigh the risks.
