Kaureen Randhawa is the founder of Besto—pesto’s newest bestie! Besto is the first-ever pesto that’s nut-free, gluten-free, and free of seed oils. Having lived with a lifelong nut allergy, Kaureen understood the frustration of missing out on the classic pesto that so many enjoy. On top of that, finding a store-bought pesto that tasted fresh and looked vibrant was nearly impossible. Determined to change that, she created her own—crafting a unique, flavorful pesto using ingredients like apple cider vinegar and spinach, all while accommodating her dietary needs. Besto's mission is simple: No Nuts. No Seed Oils. Just Pesto.

What began in a cozy 506-square-foot New York apartment has since blossomed into a nationwide launch in December, driven by overwhelming demand from "besties" craving a pesto that suits their allergies—or simply one that tastes fresh and vibrant. In January, Besto made its debut at Pop Up Grocer in the West Village, with a goal for 2025 to expand into more retail locations. Whether nut-allergic, gluten-intolerant, avoiding seed oils, or simply a pesto lover who craves bold, clean flavors, Besto is here to deliver.
