I adore palm hearts. I wish they were more widely available here in the US. I used to get them from Trader Joe’s but they’ve stopped selling the Brazilian type, which are the best in my opinion. There’s really no substitute for Brazilian palm heart. Will you TJ people reconsider selling them again? I was able to get some at Mercado Brazil, a Brazilian store in the Mission district. Thank god!
