Heart of Palm Nutrition
By Sara Ipatenco
Does Pesto Have a Lot of Sodium? Heart of palm is exactly what it sounds like: It's the inner part of a palm tree bud. A nutritious vegetable with a soft texture and mild flavor, heart of palm is available canned at most supermarkets, making it a simple way to add flavor and nutrition to your meals. Fiber
If your diet is like most, it probably doesn't contain the 20 to 35 grams of fiber you need for good health. Not getting enough fiber prevents your digestive system from working properly, which can lead to constipation and hemorrhoids. When you do eat enough fiber, you might be lowering your risk of heart disease and diabetes. Fiber might also help prevent certain types of cancer. A 1-cup serving of heart of palm supplies you with 3.5 grams of fiber toward your daily goal. Iron
Almost all of the iron in your body is present in your red blood cells.
