their is a difference in texture,flavor and preparation.Just an FYI
A little history on the Palm which I find pretty cool. they are usually tropical trees or shrubs.the fruit of the palm are dates.coconuts are it's seed or nut,and the hearts are the new shoots. the trunk produces a starch called sago and don't forget palm oil. Your assignment ,if you choose to take it is to come up with a recipe using all components just mentioned,you can use fresh lemon and any herd you want in addiction. BTW I love shroomgirls shrimp recipe,give that a try

The Sterrick (sp?) Club in Memphis (private club) used to make a heart of palm salad that had a dollop of caviar on top. It was excellent, but I don't know whether or not you would be able to get a recipe for it.

That's the only way I have ever had heart of palm and that has been years ago.

I've used it in salads and as a topping for grilled fish preparations with other ingredients like olives and artichokes sauteed with garlic and tomatoes in olive oil and some fresh basil chiffonade. As far as side dishes go only one way I have used is with garlic parsley and cherry or small pear tomatoes, salt n pepper...usually on a hot day.

When we lived in Ecuador, I tried to use fresh heart of palm and it was scarcely worth the trouble. After all the work, it was not noticeably different from good quality canned heart of palm.
I love heart of palm with roasted red pepper. Hotor cold. The color and texture is wonderful.
It is really a simple veggie -- not ccomplex at all -- and you need to treat it that way. Serve it for color and texture.

I used canned hearts of palm. In each heart of palm I cut a vee shaped niche. Then I stuffed them with juiliened roasted bell peppers into the niche. I seasoned it with salt and pepper added a little olive oil and saute them for about a minute. I cut them in a bias and served them. If you guys have more ideas let me know. Thank you guys for all of your ideas I appreciated.

I agree with you margaret.....
