    Hearts of palm are a vegetable from the center of certain palm trees. They have a very subtle flavor, like mild artichoke hearts, and a dense texture.

    Hearts of palm are a versatile ingredient that are used in a variety of cuisines. We love using them in salads, soups, and stews.

    You can use Hearts of palm as a meat substitute in vegan and vegetarian dishes. I love using them this way since they have such a distinct seafood-like texture and mild flavor that can take on the other seasonings in the dish. Check out my recipe for Vegan Lobster Roll!

    They can be eaten raw, cooked, or canned. When cooked, you can sautée, grill, or roast them.

    You can find them jarred or canned in larger grocery stores and health food stores.

    3. Use Hearts of palm as a meat substitute in sandwiches and wraps. They have a similar texture to chicken or tuna so you can use them to make vegan or vegetarian versions of classic sandwiches.
    4. Try adding them to soups and stews to add a unique flavor and texture.
