What a disappointment…Nothing like rice…
UPDATE!!!…Since I have learned to use this ‘rice’ better, I have grown into a big fan. I was originally using it as a plain white rice, and as that, it is not great. It is wonderful when you top it with gravies, sauces or add flavorings. I learned that it really is a very satisfying food and a staple to my low carb lifestyle.A suggestion….I rinse the ‘rice’ well, then toss it in a pan and dry it out. I add a bit of butter, some onion, garlic, spices, flavorings and cook it through! Simple and it is very satisfying.So…I have upgraded my 1 star review to a 5 star review because it truly is a satisfying staple. I apologize for the one star because it was really not based on the product by my inexperience in knowing how to use it! Thank you Palmini for a good, versatile and enjoyable product.I really wanted to love this ‘rice’ as I am a huge fan of the Palmini ‘pasta’ but it just didn’t cut it. In fact it was almost like eating grated cauliflower than ‘rice’ I’ll definitely be sticking with the konjac rice as it resembles ‘rice’ more. The consistency and chew is like grated cauliflower. I wish I could return the two I have left but unfortunately there is no refund allowed on this…you can be sure that I won’t be buying this again. What a disappointment.

turned out great
7/12/2022 update: the buy one get one free 6pk deal i purchased on prime day, is still with a 9/2022 expiration date..5/10/2022 update: the buy one get one free 6pk deal from one of the sellers have an expiration date of 9/2022. no big deal for me, i’ll eat all 12 packs by then but, others may not..i was iffy about trying these heart of palm pastas and put it off for a long time. recently i tried out a Realgood chicken meal that had heart of palm linguine noodles in it and the noodles weren’t bad at all so after some deciding what brand of heart of palm products to get, i chose this brand. Am glad i did, the bags are packed full and there is no nasty strong smell. After rinsing & draining the rice 3 times and drying it out in a large frying pan before adding tbsp of butter and a healthy choice chicken pesto & veggie meal to it, the rice was actually delicious (after initial first taste, you don’t taste the palm anymore) and so much better than cauliflower rice!! i like that this palm of heart rice has a nice dente non-mushy rice texture to it, least the way i made it it did. I was so impress with it that i came on here after dinner and ordered their 6 pack which lucky me just happen to do so when one of the sellers was selling it at a buy one get one free deal so i got 12 packs for the price of 6, making these pretty affordable.. I bought the angel hair ones too but, i haven’t used those yet, don’t expect to not like them if they are super thin like angel hair is..

Good sub for rice
I follow directions and submerge it in milk for 30 minutes before rinsing. Decreases the tanginess from the citric acid. I pan fry it to dry it up. Unlike cauliflower rice that has the funky scent and taste of cauliflower, this does not have a scent and has a little more chew after cooking.

Great product !!! Follow this tip and you’ll love them more !!!
Great product !!! To all the people who are trying for the first time heart of palm rice, I’ll give you a very good tip. First put the rice in a bowl and add heavy whipped cream. Covered it and let it stand for 30 minutes. Then rinse it and dry it. The next step is frying it with oil or butter, with some garlic. And voila !!! You’ll love it. The heavy whipped cream will take all the heart of palm flavour. Frying it will give a more better texture and it will remind you of a fried rice. And it’s keto. I love it like this.

Do Not Buy in cans
I love this product but do it purchase in cans. They came so beat up and bent up I’m afraid to eat it. And of course no return on this item so I’m stuck with them.

Not bad but too expensive
If you eat this “rice” with plenty of seasoning and a sauce, it wasn’t bad however not a good value for the price. I’m wondering if you could just rice regular hearts of palm. Cauliflower rice might be a cheaper and easier option.

A HEALTHY CARB SUBSTITUTE
The past three months while my wife and I were on a very caloric-restrictive diet that essentially removed all carbs, iodized salt, and refined sugars, we still ate very well and each lost 25 pounds.My wife substituted this palm rice in her recipes that required rice. It looks and has a very similar texture as cauliflower rice, but not the flavor. So, if you are interested in cutting your carbs with a healthy option, this is legit. It’s essentially flavorless (that’s why I gave flavor four stars, because it really does not have a flavor), so it takes on whatever seasonings you use to cook your meal.

Palmini Rice
Love this as a rice substitute. However, they are very slow to deliver. My last order was canceled by them. I have ordered again and weeks later it still hasn’t shipped. May cancel if not shipped by next week. Order direct from the company.

Made a basic egg fried rice. I like that it doesn’t get mushy and has a bite to it. There was a mild sour taste, is that expected ?

La idea detrás del “Arroz” de PALMINI a base de palmito prometía ser revolucionaria: una alternativa baja en calorías, baja en carbohidratos, keto y vegana. Sin embargo, tras probarlo, el producto se quedó muy corto en cumplir cualquier expectativa razonable.La textura ya plantea el primer desafío, alejándose significativamente de la consistencia familiar del arroz tradicional. Pero es el sabor lo que realmente arruina la experiencia. La intensidad de un gusto que recuerda a alga sumergida en agua no solo es desagradable sino que eclipsa cualquier otro ingrediente con el que se intente combinar.Es comprensible que al buscar alternativas más saludables, uno pueda esperar ciertos sacrificios en sabor o textura, pero PALMINI Arroz lleva esto a un extremo innecesario. Aquellos que buscan una opción keto o vegana merecen algo que, al menos, sea comestible. Desgraciadamente, este producto se aleja demasiado de ese estándar.En definitiva, PALMINI Arroz es una decepción culinaria que, aunque intenta ser innovador, falla estrepitosamente en su ejecución. Es difícil imaginar a quién podría recomendarle este producto. 1/5 estrellas

I hope Amazon don’t stop selling this. Cauliflower rice give a lot of people dodgy tummies and excess…you know what!!This is so much better. Tossed in a pan with a little onion ad curry powder its delicious !!!!

We tried it and I have to say that the price for the mini portion you actually eat is insane. The product is delicious, you can combine it many ways, indeed low caloric, but the price makes this product a luxury not a part of your weekly groceries.

Seguo un’alimentazione chetogenica, quindi non mangiando riso, con questi ho fatto ricette alternative, addirittura il sushi!! A me sono piaciuti molto, ovviamente conditi e non da mangiare da soli.
