What is Heart of Palm? The heart of palm is the central part or heart of certain types of wild palms, native of the Amazon region. The principal variety of cultivated heart of palm is Bactris gasipaes, or peach palm. The correct term is "heart of palm" not "hearts of palm". As the grower explained to us, each plant only has one heart. The Palm Plant
