I was excited to find this, as it's freshly made in house. Tasted better and looked more vibrant than the other store bought pesto I usually get..but homemade is still best lol. It has spinach in addition to basil, and uses pumpkin seed instead of pine nuts. A tad on the oily side. Would have been nice if it had some nutritional yeast or something to lend the parmesan like flavour. That is what I would have added if I were making it from scratch. I would buy again for convenience.

This vegan pesto is really nice! It’s fresh and herby! With a spelt pasta, kale, mushrooms, olives, and artichokes. Delicious and nutritious.
Good pesto! although there isn’t spinach in the pesto but it seems to be good anyway! It is fresh, so it can't stay open for long!
This was delicious! It tasted super fresh. Happy with the vegan options lately at Farm Boy
This vegan pesto is pretty good! Quite similar to the non-vegan pesto. In my opinion, it should have been creamier (thicker), because it was runnier than regular pesto. Really on the oily side. My real issue with it though, is that this tiny container was $6 and while reading the ingredients, I noticed that they use pumpkin seeds to prepare this, instead of pesto’s traditional pine nuts. Pumpkin seeds are cheaper than pine nuts. So it just rubs me the wrong way, that they’re selling this at this price, while using cheaper ingredients . Plus I believe that using pumpkin seeds instead pine nuts is what’s affecting the consistency of the product… The taste isn’t bad at all, but personally, unless I’m really short on time, I will be skipping this to make my own pesto… 7/10 #abillionlove #veganpesto #veganfood
