Review of Riced Hearts of Palm - Trader Joe's by beckyyy

I was intrigued when I saw this at Trader Joe’s; I liked the pasta version so decided to give this a try.

Like the pasta, there is a slight “heart of palm” scent straight out of the bag but it seems to be neutralized by cooking. This rice does really help bulk up a meal to make it more filling. It is convenient and easy to prepare. I think this could work in any dish where rice is a bit moist. I wouldn’t try using it as an alternative to sushi rice.

If you are unable to eat rice this could be a good alternative for you. I think in most cases I would prefer to add actual rice, though, as I prefer the texture and it is less expensive. Adding a cheaper veggie, perhaps cabbage, can add some more bulk. An interesting product to try, though!
