What You Should Know

You'd spot this 6.5 oz Gotham Greens Vegan Pesto in the refrigerated prepared foods or specialty condiment section, grabbed for a quick pasta night, sandwich spread, or to pep up a weeknight meal. It gives a fresh, artisanal and slightly indulgent vibe — bright basil, nutty pine nuts and olive oil — and the short, recognizable ingredient list and creamy emulsion point to minimal industrial additives; packaged convenience pushes it into the processed condiment space rather than unprocessed whole foods.
