Hey, Pesto!

My basil pesto is quick and easy to make and has a host of great health benefits. Basil has natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Basil, parsley and baby spinach leaves also provide wonderful folate (aka foliage!), magnesium, vitamin K and other super nutrients for cardiovascular health. Garlic is a superfood for cardiovascular, respiratory and immune health. Australian macadamia nuts provide heart healthy anti-inflammatory fats, as does the extra virgin olive oil. The pecorino cheese is a good source of vitamin K for cardiovascular health. This is definitely a medicine that should be on prescription for everyone!
