About Palm hearts

Palm hearts, also known as hearts of palm, are tender tubular vegetables harvested from the inner core of certain palm trees. Their delicate flavor and crisp texture make them a versatile ingredient in salads, stir-fries, soups, and pastas, particularly in Latin American, Southeast Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Low in calories, they are an excellent source of dietary fiber, promoting digestive health, and rich in important minerals like potassium, which supports heart function, and iron, vital for red blood cell production. Palm hearts also contain vitamin C and folate, contributing to immune system strength and cellular repair. They are free of cholesterol and low in fat, making them a heart-healthy option. While sustainable harvesting practices exist, overharvesting can pose environmental concerns, so check sourcing when shopping for them. Their unique combination of nutrients makes them a flavorful and nutritious addition to a health-conscious diet.
