Rich in natural vegetables
HSN’s red pesto sauce stands out for its quality and commitment to nutrition thanks to its high vegetable content. Made with natural, carefully selected ingredients, this sauce contains 40% red pepper and 20% concentrated tomato, ensuring a significant nutrient boost. These ingredients not only give it its vibrant colour and bold flavour but are also an excellent source of micronutrients for a balanced diet.
Red pepper is rich in vitamins and minerals, providing a complex, deep flavour profile, while concentrated tomato adds a natural sweet and tangy note along with lycopene, known for its nutritional benefits. The combination of these vegetables not only enhances the sauce’s quality but also makes it a healthy and delicious option for those looking to enrich their meals without compromising on taste.
Do you know pesto? Discover its red version!
Pesto is a sauce from the Liguria region of Italy, famous for its flavour and versatility in countless recipes. Its name comes from the Italian verb 'pestare,' meaning to crush, as it was traditionally made by grinding ingredients in a mortar. The classic version, pesto alla genovese, dates back to the 19th century and combines fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan or Pecorino cheese, and olive oil. However, its roots go back to similar sauces like 'moretum,' a blend of herbs and garlic from Ancient Rome.
The red pesto version is made with red-coloured vegetables, depending on the chef’s preference; we’ve chosen concentrated tomato and red pepper as the base, giving it its distinctive colour and a sweeter, smoky flavour. These ingredients are blended with olive oil, garlic, basil, and cheese to maintain the creamy, rich essence of the sauce. Some recipes may include spices or nuts for extra flavour profiles, but we’ve opted to leave out tree nuts, making our sauce more suitable for people with allergies. Our red pesto is nut-free.
Low in sugars / High in protein
One of our main goals when creating this red pesto sauce, as with other sauces in our line, was to use high-quality ingredients to keep it low in sugars.
We’ve also developed a version suitable for all kinds of diets, including those for people following high-protein diets—whether gym-goers or anyone aiming to maintain muscle mass. That’s why we’ve added pea protein, boosting its protein content without compromising taste or texture, and without introducing allergens to the recipe. It’s ideal for anyone looking to enhance their meals with top-notch nutritional quality.
