WTF is Heart of Palm Pasta and Why Should You Try It? By Jahla Seppanen April 16, 2018

While zoodles (zucchini noodles) enjoy their heyday as a nutritious way to substitute veggies for traditional flour pasta, vegetable lovers, vegans, and Paleo diet followers will be excited to hear there’s a new noodle in town, and it’s made — of all things — from palm trees. Say what? Hearts of palm, which in their raw form look like un-fried, fat mozzarella sticks, are harvested from the inner core and growing buds of certain palm trees. These 100-percent edible cores are firm (like linguini noodles) and hyper nutritious. When cut and cooked the right way, it’s hard to tell you’re not eating pasta. Better still, the flavor is reminiscent of an artichoke, which is also great for your pasta plate. Only a handful of companies have begun canning hearts of palm noodles for us to substitute in our spaghetti, lasagna, and stroganoff. Brazilian-based Harvest Palm is one, which now offers palm tree pasta to U.S. consumers after turning on a pair of traveling American brothers that went crazy over the taste and health benefits.
