Premium Heart of Palm – The Gourmet Treasure of the Tropical Canopy

1. Introduction to Heart of Palm

Heart of Palm (Củ Hũ Dừa) is a premium vegetable harvested from the tender, inner core of the coconut tree bud. Often referred to as “Millionaire’s Salad,” it is highly prized for its delicate crunch, creamy white color, and refreshing, slightly sweet flavor.

At Vinahugo, we harvest hearts of palm from sustainable coconut plantations. Our processing methods—whether fresh, chilled, or dehydrated—focus on maintaining the crisp “bamboo-shoot” texture and ivory appearance that make it a favorite in high-end culinary applications worldwide.
