Palm heart, also known as "heart of palm," is a vegetable harvested from the inner core of specific types of palm trees, such as coconut, peach palm, and açaí. Native to tropical regions of South and Central America, it is a popular ingredient in Latin American, Southeast Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Palm hearts are prized for their tender, slightly nutty flavor and crisp texture, often used in salads, stir-fries, and savory dishes. Nutritionally, they are low in calories and fat while providing a good source of dietary fiber, protein, vitamin C, potassium, and zinc. They also contain antioxidants that support immune health and cellular repair. However, sustainability concerns arise due to overharvesting in certain areas, so choosing sustainably sourced options is essential. With their versatile use and nutritional benefits, palm hearts are both a delicious and health-conscious addition to a balanced diet.
