I’m excited to partner with Reese Heart of Palms to tell you about this delightful little healthy vegetable!

We live in the palmetto state and love this little vegetable! I was obsessed with the television series Mad Men a few years ago and they had a Hearts of Palm salad in season two. I had to try it. It was delightful and now Hearts of Palm Salad is in regular rotation at our house.

We’ve had the hottest summer, but I think we say that every year. Summer dinners are hard. My kids won’t eat much if they are hot but they insist on playing outside in the heat all day. So we turn serious about our cold refreshing summer salads. Some nights I just make a salad, toss a blanket in the backyard and let them eat, run around, and eat a little more. This is our favorite rendition of Hearts of Palm Salad right now. It changes often because we experiment with new ingredients.

What are Hearts of Palm?

Hearts of palm are a vegetable harvested from the inner core and growing bud of palm trees. Only certain palm trees like coconut, palmito juçara, açaí palm, and sabal.

What are the nutritional benefits of Hearts of Palm?

What do Hearts of Palm taste like?

They taste like crunchier artichokes, crunchy but not crispy. They are a hard to describe little vegetable but definitely worth trying.
