Hearts of Palm Pasta: 6/10
🚨NEW ITEM🚨 First off, this is a great gluten free and vegan option. There’s no denying the health benefits of this pasta, however, it was not my favorite. I found it to be too moisture filled for my taste. The smell when I initially dumped it in the pan was very overpowering as well, but lessened as it cooked. The pasta itself didn’t have too much of a flavor. If I were to enjoy this pasta, I would need to load it up with cheese to give it more flavor which kind of defeats the purpose. My favorite types of pasta alternatives are spaghetti squash and zoodles. Each box is $2.99 and can be found in the dry pasta section.
Have you tried this yet? What did you think?
Seems like this would be better in a stir fry, rather than an Italian dish as the box suggests
@hannahkyzar this was the account I was telling you about!
I’ve had the Whole Foods version and like them as a shelf stable and quick option. Tossed with primal kitchens vodka sauce and it was perfect for me. Didn’t pan cook them, just reheated in microwave
I did not like the smell or texture. I couldn’t bring myself to eat it.
Tasted great as a variation of pad thai! Made a sauce with soy sauce, peanut butter, ginger, lime, sriracha, and garlic and mixed with chicken and spinach. The sauce worked well with the slight vinegary taste it had.
How was cooking it? Pretty simple?

Is this just one serving? Planning to go to TJ later might pick this up if we see it
I love hearts of palm but this product missed the mark. The look, smell, taste and texture were not good. Nothing appealing about it.

It’s amazing
The one from sprouts also says rinse and then soak in the milk of your choice and then you can boil It. I boiled It in the heavy cream for a little

I don’t know if you’ve ever tried it, but the brown rice and yellow lentil spaghetti is gluten free but does NOT taste like it!! It’s my go-to pasta and I’m not even gluten free, it’s just that good! It has a really high amount of protein as well because of the lentils 😊
@traderjoesfoodreviews Hearts of Palm is so good in soup! I’ll find the recipe and repost!
Do you know if this was seasonal? I liked it and couldn’t find it again
Just tried this today with the frozen just sauce turkey bolognese. 7/10. Definitely watery, needed grated cheese but a good alternative to carbs
But really I think it’s more a testament to the frozen turkey bolognese sauce. 10/10 for sure 😂

I spoke to someone at TJs who mentioned everything here. She suggested BAKING this for better results. There are many recipes online for baked spaghetti, w different sauces, veggies etc. I’m going to try it and I’ll let u know
I rinsed mine VERY well in a strainer and drained well, too. Sautéed in a hot pan with olive oil and then added spices, and parmesan. Loved it.
I just bought this can’t wait to try it
