What are Hearts of Palm?
Hearts of palm are a slightly-crunchy vegetable thatโs harvested from the center of domesticated palm trees. They used to be a controversial ingredient, but now harvesting methods donโt damage the trees and wild palms are protected in many places. And Hearts of Palm are so delicious! Hereโs more about Hearts of Palm and how to use them.
Where can you buy Hearts of Palm?
Most grocery stores will sell Hearts of Palm, sold near the olives and artichokes in cans and jars, although they are often pricey at a regular grocery store. You can buy hearts of Palm at Amazon.com (affiliate link) and occasionally you’ll find some there that are a bit more inexpensive. (Amazon even carries those two packs of big jars like I loved so much at Costco, but they were definitely more of a bargain at Costco, of course!)

I’m a native Brazilian and hearts of palm is a staple in our kitchens. We use it in salads, mini pies (empadas), empanadas and savory pies. It’s perfect combined with chicken in a creamy filling for empanadas. Thanks for all those new ideas for salads using hearts of palm. In Brazil, we call them “palmeeto”.
How fun learning more about them! I am a long-time fan but didn’t know that name for them. Hope you enjoy the salads!
