This is where I get my Palmini from (no affiliation). You may want to check other online health stores in case they have special offers if you buy in bulk. I bought my Palmini at Amazon UK and they seem to be stocking it in the US and Canada too. I shared a recipe using palmini lasagna sheets here. The Lasagna Palmini sheets taste fantastic and have a sturdier texture compared to Eggplant Lasagna or Zucchini Lasagna, probably the closest I ever got to real pasta sheets by using a vegetable. The Linguine Palmini are not as long as regular spaghetti but that's actually better because it's easier and less messy to eat. Well, it's much better than zucchini! It's less mushy and watery, possibly thanks to the slightly higher fibre content. What is the Texture of Palmini?Īt first I was skeptical as I was expecting texture similar to zucchini. If you want them to taste plain, simply wash the Palmini thoroughly under running water and briefly cook in a pot of boiling water for just 30 to 60 seconds. The only ingredients should be hearts of palm, water, salt and citric acid which gives them a slightly sour, marinated taste. Ideally, look for brands with no unnecessary additives. The taste is somewhat similar to canned bamboo shoots or marinated artichokes which I love. Pin it Follow us 148.4k How Does Palmini Pasta Alternative Taste? I personally found the 75-gram serving to be a too small so I ended up using half a can (113 g/ 4 oz) per serving which still adds up to only 3 grams of net carbs and 30 calories per serving.
Compared to zucchini, there is almost three times more fibre in Palmini.Īccording to the label, one can of Palmini contains 3 servings (75 g/ 2.7 oz each) and each serving is only 4 grams of total carbs, 2 grams of net carbs and 20 calories. The net carb count in Palmini is about the same as the net carb count in zucchini (courgettes). Palmini is very low in carbs and calories which makes it ideal for a healthy low-carb and keto diet, and more importantly - for weight loss. I like mine al dente so I usually skip the heating and just mix it with the warm sauce and meat like I did in this recipe. When sliced and cooked in the right way, it resembles pasta and can be used to replace noodles, linguine and lasagne.Ĭanned Palmini is already cooked so all you need to do is to rinse it and warm up. Palmini is a pasta substitute that is made out of a natural plant known as hearts of palm. You will only need palmini, ground beef, homemade pasta sauce (or any sugar-free store-bought pasta sauce) and an optional sprinkle of grated Parmesan and fresh basil. The first recipe I made with Palmini is this Palmini Spaghetti Bolognese recipe which I kept super simple. The only one I haven't tried yet is the Angel Hair.
I was intrigued so I checked online and ordered a batch of Palmini Linguine and Palmini Lasagne, two of the three types of Palmini available. I only discovered Palmini a couple of weeks ago when a member of our Facebook group (Thank you Nellie!) posted a meal with something that looked like the perfect low-carb pasta alternative.
