UPGRADE YOUR SALAD WITH PICKLED HEARTS OF PALM

These palm hearts are sweeter than I'm used to, but nicely crisp. The glass jars are fridge-friendly, and they arrived well packed in cardboard and paper (no styrofoam!).No complaints, though I prefer adding a bit of salt.

This is a delightful vegetable to add to a homemade salad. I love chopping it up and putting it with some lettuce, olives, and tomatoes.

Listing mentions it is pickled for (maintaining) crispness. It is indeed crispy, and you don't really taste the pickling, mild if any. That's good if you only want mostly crispy heart of palm. Probably also healthy being not too pickled as well (in terms of acidity and salt level). However, it might be a bit lacking if you were hoping for something a little more sour and/or salty, but that's not hard to correct with some addition of salt, lime juice or vinegar. These are good hearts of palm.

What you get in the package are two jars of hearts of palm, and each jar contains approximately six hearts of palm sticks (portions). The pickle juice (and hence the hearts of palm) has a mild tartness to it. The hearts of palm themselves are mildly sweet. They are crunchy (in the vegetable sort of way) and have a creamy mouth feel. I enjoyed this raw, and used as a component of an elaborate slow-cooked bean soup, whereupon the hearts of palm slices retained their shape and some of their crunch--very much like cooked celery.

Two glass jars of hearts of palm arrived at my door packed in recyclable materials. These are a product of Costa Rica and are lightly pickled. The quality was very good and personally I consider this product to be a an upgrade on a summer salad plate, adding texture, flavor, and interest. Combine with summer salad vegetables, hard boiled egg wedges , some olives and cheese to make a light summer meal. At. Our house we consider hearts of palm to be a tasty treat and these are a nice example.
