Did you know?
It is the tender growing core of a palm; in single-stemmed species harvesting kills the tree, so sustainable production shifted to the multi-stemmed pupunha palm. Its texture recalls artichoke heart.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
