Rachael 2012-08-11T22:44:41Z 2012-08-20T23:09:00Z <p>I'm obsessed with them. And they taste and have the texture of string cheese! YUM! Ingredients: hearts of palm, water, citric acid and salt. Are these paleo enough???</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/142181/are-canned-palm-hearts-okay/142182#142182 Answer by Varelse for Are canned palm hearts okay? Varelse 2012-08-11T22:56:44Z 2012-08-11T22:56:44Z <p>I think hearts of palm are fine Paleo-wise, and so's the salt and citric acid. The only thing I'd be concerned about is the BPA in the cans, but how much you worry about that sort of thing is up to you. If you can, I'd suggest trying to find some in BPA-free cans, if available, or packed in glass instead. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/142181/are-canned-palm-hearts-okay/142264#142264 Answer by monaLisa for Are canned palm hearts okay? monaLisa 2012-08-12T14:21:09Z 2012-08-20T23:09:00Z <p>I love them too! I have been slicing them and using them as a pasta substitute. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/142181/are-canned-palm-hearts-okay/144152#144152 Answer by PrimalGrizzly for Are canned palm hearts okay? PrimalGrizzly 2012-08-20T20:32:51Z 2012-08-20T20:32:51Z <p>Palm Hearts are a great vegetable for a Paleo/Primal diet. Decent fiber. Even a little protein. A good source of Potassium, along with some moderate Zinc. Best to avoid in a can, unless you know it is BPA-free. I get mine in glass jars at Trader Joe's. (And yes, they remind me of string cheese too!)</p>
