Basil Pesto

Breakdown

Processed

Lugia’s Basil Pesto scores 95/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Lugia’s Basil Pesto lists 6 ingredients, starting with Fresh Basil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Pine Nuts, Garlic and Parmesan Cheese. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 95/100 Lugia’s Basil Pesto sits in our top band, among the better pasta & cooking sauces we have scored. A higher-scoring option in pasta & cooking sauces is Simply Nature Organic Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce at 100/100.
