Content: Those palms not armed with spines make the handling of the palm and heart easier and more efficient. When the palm reaches a mature height of approximately 6 feet tall, with a diameter of about 4 inches, it is ready to be harvested and shipped to our buyers. The peach palm attains this height and diameter between 18 and 30 months of age. The heart of palm is sweet, soft, yet crispy, ivory-colored, firm in texture and delicate in flavor. The palm heart or palmetto does not discolor upon being cut and has a shelf life of about 2 weeks if kept refrigerated at 40°F, and wrapped in food-grade plastic. **Nutrients shown are for canned heart of palm.
