Did you know?
It is never eaten raw: the starchy, fibrous fruit is boiled at length in salted water, then peeled and eaten like a potato. One of the oldest domesticated plants of the Amazon, the same palm also yields heart of palm.
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.
