Goya Foods Whole Hearts of Palm (Palmitos), 14.1 Ounce (Pack of 12)

I buy this item often. My husband and I thoroughly enjoy sharing them as a low calorie snack. They are so satisfying, and taste great. The price is great too. I definitely recommend this product to my friends, and often share them with company. I love them.

Yum! My cans look good. Havent eaten through the case yet, but what I have had has been lovely. I never had Hearts of Palm before. I only learned of them through trying (and loving) "pasta" made from it. Then one day I decided to give these a try. I am so glad I did! Slight artichoke flavor. Neat texture. Mostly firm on outside, more soft in center. Great snack. From reviews, I am not sure exactly what it is supposed to be. I imagine not mush, so hopefully none of my cans are like that. I havent figured out what I want to do with these recipe-wise. So far, I like just eating them direct from can. I already ordered another case as I think they will be part of my diet (so long as I can afford them--pricy!)

Tastes great! Only complaint is some cans came dented pretty badly - but that's probably shipping verses product. Overall, if you like Hearts of Palm - these are really good.

Great quality and my preferred brand. I would have given five stars, but for a while there half of each order came dented.

These canned palmitos (hearts of palm) aren't bad. A bit softer than ones you might find fresh in Brazil but acceptable. I like them sliced in salads to provide interest; the slightly sour flavor and interesting texture and flavor make for a better salad experience. (A bit like adding artichoke hearts without the sweet-ish aftertaste.) One of the best soups I had in my life was a cream of hearts of palm in Sao Paolo years ago. You might substitute these for asparagus in a cream soup and see how it turns out.

I bought them because of one very good review: I planned to use them in salads. I empty the can in a colander and rinse everything well, the way I do with canned beans, to get rid of the accompanying chemicals (if any) and extra salt. What you have after that is a lot of tasteless vegetable pieces. Are they 'good for you'? I do not know. They do need seasoning to give them some taste. Would I buy them again? Definitely not. If you like hearts of palm buy whole ones, in a glass jar: they are delicious, expensive but delicious. Update - May 14, 2024 I managed to open and eat some six cans; then I figured life is too short to eat canned salad-cut palmitos when canned Pinto beans taste so good.. I have six unopened cans remaining; they will get 'donated' one way or the other [e.g. to the library, hidden in a stack of books, or to Purple Heart (among the size-12 jeans I gave up hope to wear again any time soon)]. My advice: if you want to eat hearts of palm, buy the kind that comes in a glass jar; they are very good (i.e. they do have a taste). These, salad-cut and canned? Forget it! [Last week, the Post Office had a food drive. Food drives usually are run for the benefit of 'the poor'. Well, 'the poor' deserve better than that crap and I donated a jar of honey.]

Delicious as expected. Most of them are soft. Each can contains 4-6 hearts of palm. For the shipping folks, the box always comes with 2-3 cans with big dents on them... Not sure if there's a way to mark that this should not be thrown around.

While the purchase is a very good buy monetarily, all the cans in case were dented this time. I have ordered this before and usually half of them are badly dented. No leakage but quality control needs to be better
