Heart of palm is a delicacy carved from the inner core of palm trees, known for its silky texture and subtly sweet, almost buttery flavor. Long valued in Latin American and coastal cuisines, it shows up in everything from bright citrusy salads to elegant grilled appetizers. Its natural flakiness has made it a cult favorite in plant-based cooking, where it convincingly stands in for crab or lobster. Video: @xochi___ | TasteAtlas
