Native Forest® Organic Hearts Of Palm. Delicious in salads. USDA Organic. Rainforest friendly. Gluten-Free. Vegan. Net Wt 14 oz (400 g). Native Forest Organic Hearts of Palm are culinary delicacies derived from renewable resources in two countries: Peru and Colombia. The Hearts of Palm in this can are sourced from the Amazon River basin of Peru, which boasts a wonderful diversity of life and a pristine setting for palms and other flora to thrive. Indigenous villagers who live within the rainforest zone have learned how, where and when to cut the stalks of wild "Euterpe precatoria" palms to maintain and repopulate the palm species. Over 200,000 acres of native forest are now protected from development as a result of this Organic Hearts of Palm project, which supports regional prosperity and ensures protection of the rainforest for years to come.
