Date: March 08, 2008 09:17PM Okay, so I know that it is horrible that they come in a can. But, are they raw? And, is there any nutritional value even though they DO come in a can? I always loved them, and recently just had them again in a salad. I was just wondering if anyone can give me a perspective from the raw world - to eat or not to eat. Thanks. Veggie Re: Hearts of Palm

Date: March 09, 2008 04:08AM bryan, can you actually eat those raw? are they good? do you have to do anything to them? because i know they are hard fresh, aren't they?
i'm totally curious about this. i hope you respond. i think hearts of palm contain a ton of fat. what would you consider it? a veggie? a fruit? nut like? Re: Hearts of Palm

I am really interested to know more about eating them raw though. I would love to try them! Were they really hard? Re: Hearts of Palm
