What Is Pupunha Palm Heart?

Predilecta whole pupunha palm heart is extracted from the pupunha palm tree, a species cultivated mainly in Latin America. Unlike traditional palm heart (such as juçara), pupunha allows continuous harvesting, making it a sustainable alternative.

In Brazil, palm heart is widely used in dishes like pies, salads, and savory pastries, being an essential ingredient in home cooking and also in more sophisticated dishes.

From a nutritional standpoint, pupunha palm heart is light, low in calories, a source of fiber, and low in fat.
