What goes with Palm Heart?
Heart of palm is the pale, tender growing core of food palms, sold here as cooked cylinders or pieces in a can or jar. The flesh separates into soft concentric layers with a little lengthwise fibre. It has a restrained vegetal sweetness that can recall artichoke. Salt and acidity from the packing liquid may be more prominent than the palm's own flavour.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Palm Heart?
Use its pale, layered bite beside ripe tomato, buttery avocado or springy cooked shrimp. Herbs and citrus should provide a clear top note in modest amounts. A creamy base supports palm heart well when there is enough texture left to distinguish the slices. In warm dishes, reduce the sauce first and add the prepared palm heart near the finish to protect its shape.
