Native Forest Organic Hearts of Palm are tasty treasures found within the stalks of Euterpe Oleracea, a bushy palm indigenous to the Amazon rainforest of Colombia. Here, local people have learned how to selectively harvest mature stalks while assuring the maintenance and depopulation of the native palm species. Native Forest Organic Hearts of Palm are prized for their delicate flavor which some say reminds them of artichokes. Containing no fat and low in calories, they are tender and delicious additions to any meal.
