PRODUCT INFO
The entire heart is edible, though the more tender center core is considered more of a delicacy because of its lower fiber content. Hearts of Palm can be used in salads and in main dishes or deep-fried. Serve as a cold hors d’oeuvres with a vinaigrette sauce or hot with a plain or cheese béchamel sauce.
