Pesto with Moringa

Pesto with Moringa

By The Misfits

ORIGIN: Jaipur, Rajasthan

₹399  |  190 G

Inspired by Italian basil pesto, this versatile spread is made with carrot tops that lend it a slightly peppery flavour, and roasted cashews and peanuts that add richness to both flavour and texture.
SHOP FROM PRODUCER

You’ll be buying directly from the producer. The Locavore does not handle orders, payments, delivery, or customer support.

Use it the way you would any pesto, tossed through pasta, spread on sandwiches, or added to salads for an easy lift. It also works well as a dip or stirred into warm rice or vegetables when you want something fresh and herb-forward. Because the flavour is fairly rounded, it’s easy to use across different kinds of meals without much adjustment.

Every part of the vegetable—be it softened coriander or yellow carrot tops—is completely utilised.

The Misfits upcycles fruits and vegetables to make dips, spreads, and snacks. They source produce—typically rejected based on the market’s standards of appearance—from farmers around Jaipur.

Swapna, Kalyani, and Vinita clean carrot tops for The Misfits’ pesto made with moringa at their manufacturing unit in Jaipur. All photos by The Misfits.
