Description
Minimal ingredients — excellent result. Fresh basil pesto can be stored in the refrigerator for a week in a closed jar or container, or even in the freezer. There are many variations of pesto: with almonds, peanuts, walnuts, and even sun-dried tomatoes. Pesto sauce is a true treasure of health. Basil contains provitamin A, vitamins B2, C, PP, carotene, and phytoncides. Basil stimulates the immune system, helps fight various infections, and has fever-reducing and diaphoretic properties. Pine nuts and olive oil are also genuine remedies. So, pesto in reasonable amounts will be beneficial. Good luck! Serve chilled or at room temperature.
