Nutritional values

Wild garlic is not only extremely aromatic, the green spring herb also contains a great deal of vitamin C (150 milligrams per 100 grams). The ascorbic acid catches free radicals that are caused by stress, illness, poor nutrition or smoking. This protects cells and tissue and strengthens the immune system.

The ingredients can be varied as desired: Instead of pine nuts, almonds, hazelnuts or pumpkin seeds are also suitable. You can replace the pecorino with parmesan as you like, but do not leave out the nuts completely, as they give the pesto stability and flavour.
