What is this food?
AI-assisted
Coconut heart of palm (often sold as “coconut palm heart” or “coconut heart of palm”)—a tender, mild vegetable made from the inner core of the coconut/palm tree, usually cooked or canned.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
For a 100g serving, it’s low in calories (~47 kcal) and provides some dietary fiber (~0.6 g) to support better digestion and help you feel satisfied between meals. It also has a small amount of carbohydrates (~5.7 g) and very low sodium (~4 mg), which is helpful if you’re watching salt intake. There’s also a little fat (~0.8 g) with some saturated fat (~0.18 g), so it’s best to enjoy it as part of a balanced plate rather than as the main focus of the meal.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Pair it with lean protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and non-starchy veggies (e.g., kangkong, pechay, okra) for a filling 3-meal plan.
  • If it’s canned or cooked in coconut milk, check the label and choose versions with less added coconut milk/sugar when possible.
  • Use a practical portion: about 1/2 to 1 cup as a side or part of a viand, especially if you’re also eating rice.
  • For snacks, you can add it to a light salad or mix with tomatoes and onions instead of pairing with very salty sauces.
