About Palmito
Palmito, commonly known as heart of palm, is a nutrient-rich vegetable harvested from the inner core of certain palm trees, primarily in tropical regions like South America, where it features heavily in local cuisines. This tender, ivory-white ingredient has a subtle, slightly nutty flavor and a crisp texture, making it a versatile addition to salads, pastas, stir-fries, and dips. Low in calories and fat, palmito is a good source of fiber, which supports digestion, and contains essential vitamins and minerals such as potassium, iron, and vitamin C. Its antioxidant properties contribute to overall health, while its low glycemic index makes it suitable for diabetes-friendly diets. However, it is often preserved in brine, which can increase sodium content, so fresh or low-sodium varieties may be preferable for reducing heart health risks. A sustainable and delicious option, palmito adds both flavor and nutrition to dishes.
