Little Known Super Veggie- Hearts of Palm | Superfoods

[@FoodDiary2023]

I've used the hearts of palm for keto lasagna and tried the "pasta" versions as well. I think they taste great and have a really good texture.

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Nice!

[@BradFedoreshenko]

I lived in costa rica and we'd get the 3 or 4" in dia. We eat with avocado, cucumber, tomato and heart of palm, balsamic vinegar..Solo Bueno..

[@SLI732]

Enjoying some hearts of palm pasta right now with low carb bolognese. I got it from Thrive Market to try and happy to here all the benefits being on keto. Lost 130lbs and 15% bodyfat in 5 months so far, only 50lbs to go!

[@jakesustarsic533]

I make keto bread, then I shred some hearts of palm, cook them in spices, barbecue sauce and duck or pig fat, I spread the hearts of palm on the bread and eat it like that, it is SO good, kind of like eating a barbecue pizza!

[@EvangelistBoyd]

my favorite snack..ate some last night and to break my fast yesterday morning...I looooove them..

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

Hearts of palm are a good source of many nutrients. They contain protein and fiber, and high in vitamin C and vitamin B6, calcium, niacin, phosphorous and zinc. Not that many vegetables are high in protein, so this is good to know, especially for vegetarians. They also low in calories; about 40 calories in a cup.👍

[@johnnypenso9574]

It's not "high" in protein. An entire cup is 4g of protein. That's not high in protein.

[@B_Bodziak]

@@johnnypenso9574 It is for a vegetable is the point it seems he was saying.

[@johnnypenso9574]

@@B_Bodziak When the amount of any macro per normal serving is so small as to be almost negligible, it's not "high".

[@leannwithers1288]

I love hearts of palm! Always add them to my salads too!

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Nice!

[@mojabunni]

I like your recent change in tone about being some guy on the internet. I appreciate the humility :)

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Thank you!

[@designsonyouinparis]

The Hearts of Palm rice has changed my life! Who knew that something so delicious could be so healthy and nutritious! Thank you for your video! ❤

[@LeoBuenoBR]

This is super common here in Brazil. It’s not the cheapest veggie but it’s affordable. Generally you buy it perserved in salt and water solution. Just open the bottle, drain water, put some olive oil and it’s read to eat.

[@DayTripperLennon]

Heart of palm with lemon, fresh pepper, and sea salt, so good!

[@mc32rb]

We have been eating Palmini for a while now. Really like it. Needs to be cooked just right, but it is a great linguine and sometimes lasagna substitute

[@TheBassGuy]

Southerners call it “swamp cabbage” and its delicious

I was so excited to see this video! I've been wondering about Hearts of Palm forever and if it's ok for keto! Thank you!

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Glad you watched this!

This is my new favorite veggie that I found out about on social media! Very delicious! Tastes great.

Aldi is selling hearts of palm pasta in my area. I’m buying them out! So easy to use and after you rinse them, they smell and taste quite good.

[@abhipsapandya5495]

I am a vegetarian. I am familiar with hearts of palm but after understanding your mineral geekout about it I'll be incorporating is more often in my meals. THANK YOU🙂

[@mbsouthflorida]

They are just palms, not "palm trees"! Yes and hearts of palm are delicious, good to know they have health benefits as well, thanks for the video.

[@PickledHam]

I've been eating hearts of palm for years and never knew why until now. Thanks for doing the research

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

You got it!

[@elainepatterson5587]

20 or more years ago, hearts of palm were totally taboo work dieters. I don't remember why, too much of something "bad" is all I remember. Oh how much we've learned! Thanks Thomas and others! 🌴

[@laurenhills239]

So glad I tried them because now I crave them

[@olddogin808]

Found Natural Heaven months ago and am so happy to have confirmation!! Thank you!

good to know they are low in carbs, got mixed information on google. They are one favorite.

Nerd alert Coincidentally this video on September 24 is the random date I seen when I looked up losing 100 lbs on a date calculator. I watched your video of pasta substitutes and bought palm heart pasta today. I was 272 beginning May now im 258 with a cheat week and gaining all the weight i lost in between today being back down in weight. Thank you for showing us your weight loss journey my friend. You honestly help everyone that can hear your words of encouragement.

Good information. For clarity, when is the best time for eating hearts of palm in the course of IF? Should it be used to break the fast, during the meal, or afterwards...as the last part of eating?

[@nitro200flyer3]

Here in Florida we call it swamp cabbage look it up one of the healthiest foods you can eat

Lots of palm trees here in San Diego so I guess I’ll dive in 🤷🏼‍♂️💪

[@saveyoutub]

Missed my opportunity visiting Florida..

[@rondacorkhill1654]

The only problem with hearts of palm is how it is extracted/cultivated. There is a specific species from brazil and Bolivia that are extracted with no regard to the rainforest.

[@LeoBuenoBR]

Cultivation here in brazil it’s not the end of the world. You can eat with no guilty whatsoever.

[@marysmith5047]

[@rickievidito3033]

[@sm_websites]

What’s the best form to eat them? Raw, home fermented or canned ?

[@bacongreaseisfreebutter924]

I'm anemic and was in search of high iron foods. I just happened to look at a can of hearts of palm and noticed it contains 40% of daily value or iron, yet it's never mentioned when you Google "high iron foods". I love them. I eat them right of the can. I'm also low-carb so it's a great option for me.

[@SomarDee]

Can you pleaseshare the brand you used? I tried finding one that had higher iron but all I could find was a can from Trader Joe's has only 2% iron ( 0.3mg) and the Aldi's brand bag of pasta lists 0% ( 0mg) of Iron. The brand he discussed Natural Heaven states it has 0mg (0%) of Iron, and only 2% RDA potassium. I would like to find the one you have that list 40% RDA.

[@joannekerr8839]

I first heard of hearts of palm back in the 1990s. Problem was, back then, they were being harvested in a terrible and unsustainable way with no heed to the environment and the local way of life where the palm tree were being destroyed for this small delicacy. I've never tried one but I would like to, if you can confirm that they are now being sustainably produced? Thank you in advance.

[@ewdtrey]

They are sustainable now.

[@TheAnonymousHippopotamus]

Excellent point Joanne. I harvest heart of palm for a living and it is DEFINITELY NOT SUSTAINABLE. It's barely even profitable! The process is extremely difficult to automate and requires skill and experience to be done efficiently, which is technically where the profit comes from; efficiency of labor. Harvesting it is insanely wasteful, and the resulting product doesn't really have much of a taste. If you want something similar try white asparagus

[@joannekerr8839]

@@TheAnonymousHippopotamus Oh that's very interesting - thank you.

[@risky725]

I just bought and tried Natural Heaven Pasta. DAMN! Love it and now my whole family is eating it. Actually tastes great with sauces, chicken, meatballs etc...! Pasta shmasta. No more! Thanks Thomas!

[@SRose-vp6ew]

Mashed palm with potato extract (yes, that's a thing) tastes like mashed potatoes and has almost no carbs. Maybe two carbs per serving. Also from Ketofocus Low Carb Keto French Fries 100 g almond flour (1/2 cup + 1/3 cup) 1 tablespoon xanthan gum 1/2 teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons hot water 20 drops mashed potato flavor drops avocado oil for frying or baking

[@kungkungx3]
