Hearts of Palm
Hearts of palm are literally the center of the palmetto tree, the state tree of both Florida and South Carolina. It's also known as swamp cabbage. It's almost always sold canned. The hearts are tender and juicy, with almost no fat and no cholesterol. You can use them in any salad to add crunch and flavor.
