Natural Heaven Brown Rice, Hearts of Palm, 6-Pack – Naturally Rich in Potassium, Low-Calorie Veggie Rice, Keto & Gluten-Free Food, Vegan, 9 Oz Ea

Those who have dietary restrictions will probably enjoy hearts of palm pasta and rice more than those who are just looking for something different to add to their meal rotation. (When you are expecting something to taste like rice/pasta and it doesn't, it can be disappointing.) But when you are tired of eating the same old vegetables because you can't have potatoes, beans, corn, wheat, etc., this is a nice change of pace. It's super easy to use. No cooking, no hassle. I simply add it to my nomato sauce or skillet meal and simmer it for a while- it's excellent and filling, just like regular pasta or rice. The texture is good, the taste isn't overwhelming, and it doesn't have a pungent smell. I've found the thicker hearts of palm pasta can be crunchy, so I prefer the rice cut. Yes, it's pricey but we can't eat out and it's nice to have this on hand for a quick meal addition.

Always looking for low carb options for rice and pasta. Although expensive it was tasty and was a good substitute! I will use these again! Easy to warm up and use. Consistency similar to rice. Flavor is mild and takes the sauce flavor well! More nutritional than other higher carb options. Not an unpleasant aroma either.

This is the closest thing to a real rice. See the pictures and judge for yourself. It is better than cauliflower rice, which isn't bad, but this is far better.From the physical standpoint, down to the grains, the hearts of palm rice looks and feel like a real rice. You can even make this to turn into crust! If you are a true rice lover, you know what a rice crust is to you.Well, this can make juicy crust!How about the taste? It is fantastic. It doesn't have that veggie taste like a cauliflower rice, but you must cook it a little longer.The problem others may have is with the preparation. If you are going to start eating healthy, don't expect a microwave instant all packed under two minutes meal.Instead, just like real rice. You have to be creative and put some time into it with INGREDIENTS. No one cooks a regular rice and eat it without any ingredients, so why would you expect this to be magically flavored?Also, the company claims it is cooked and ready in few minutes. (Four minutes) This is false. They say that so it can be appealing to the average buyer. That doesn't mean it takes forever to cook. In fact, it cooks faster than a regular rice. However, do not cook this for two minutes or even four minutes, you will be disappointed. Instead, treat it like you were cooking a typical Spanish rice, or yellow rice, or Asian rice with scrambled eggs. The same way you prepare those rice, cook it the same way and you will love this thing and be hooked.Pros:The ingredient list is short, just one ingredientHearts of palmYou don't need to keep it in the refrigerator.Cons:Like all rice alternative, they are expensive.

Let’s face it: you can never truly 100% replace one food with another. Cauliflower mash is a decent substitute for mashed potatoes but they’re NOT mashed potatoes. Likewise with this product. You can never replace true rice with something like this product but it does a decent enough job if you have to replace your rice. I like this hearts of palm brown “rice” more than the white “rice” personally. I like to add it as a side to a veggie and a protein for dinner while my wife and I are on the keto diet and trying to lose weight. We’ve also had success in making two packs together, dumping in some diced veggies and some sausage with a squeeze of tomato paste and having a nice “rice bowl” style dinner. You can get real creative with this product and it’s quite versatile. The flavor is nice, again, it’s not actual rice but after a few servings of this you just may not even miss true rice. My only true complaint is the price. Products like this are so expensive and I can’t help but feel the price is marked up (on all products like this) because it’s a healthier type of food and that just stinks. Again, it’s not that *this* product is too expensive, my complaint is that all healthy food is too expensive. But, you just have to factor that in when you’re eating healthier. All in all, this is a good substitute for brown rice and I can absolutely recommend it to you.

I am on a never-ending search for low and no car products. I have been hooked on this rice alternative for at least 2 years. Texture is the closest I've found to real rice. I have even made Chinese fried rice with it! This is a totally GUILTLESS food that has become a staple in my cupboard. It has already been cooked and bagged, so it is ready for you and your culinary creativity!!!

This is a really great keto rice substitute albeit much pricier than riced cauliflower. I prefer the brown style.My only complaint apart from the price is the packaging. It’s very difficult to get all the product out of the bag. It would be nice if it was sealed in a plastic tray or some other way where you don’t waste half the product because it’s stuck to the sides of the bag.

i should have returned when i got this product. i couldn't eat it. it smelled spoiled and rice was not white like picture. it had a very strong sour smell to it when you opened up bag. rice was a brown light orange color .i dont think was it right. so i through all the boxes away.

These Hearts of Palm Rice are a fantastic find! They're a great low-carb alternative to traditional rice, and they have a surprisingly satisfying texture. I love how versatile they are – I've used them in stir-fries, salads, and even as a side dish. They're definitely a keeper in my pantry!
