Road's End Organics Gluten Free Savory Herb Gravy, Mix, Organic, 1 Ounce Pouch

I was a little nervous from the conflicting reviews. But since stupid costco doesn't carry anymore, had little choice. It's organic and most importantly non cancerous bpa free can lining. There's twelve cans it comes to about three dollars per can so not bad price wise. Delivered to your door what more can you ask I was pleasantly surprised how good it tastes. Nice semi soft texture very tasty.

They’ve changed, and not in a good way. These have always been the best hearts of palm I could find, I’ve ordered them monthly for many years (they aren’t in stores where I live). Yes, cans have often arrived dented, and sometimes there are woody stalks or a can with an off color/texture in there (the dented ones have been fine, the “off” ones I’ve tossed out), but overall the flavor and texture have been heads above alternatives the vast majority of the time. HoP have been a favorite food of mine since I was a kid. In the last few months something has changed, either the sourcing or method of processing them. Now they’re like all the others in the store—overly pickled, fibrous, not great flavor, etc. The few times I’ve asked to return a bad batch, or contacted the company in the past about quality concerns, they’ve replaced or accepted my return for a refund. But now I’m told this item is no longer a returnable item. Perhaps because no one likes the new version and they’ve been overloaded with return requests? But really weird, since they are non-perishables. They should be returnable. But now that they’re not, I definitely don’t want to try buying more to see if they have gone back to the good ones, since I could be stuck with another bad batch. Really frustrating. Off to try and find another brand.

Living here in central Iowa, we don't have a lot of selection on hearts of palm - yea go figure huh? Lol. So we were so glad to find these available through subscribe-n-save at a significant savings over what we would spend buying a $5 can from the store. And they are great quality - that had certainly been my concern seeing the price, but these are just as good as any canned hearts of palm we've bought anywhere. We get a kick out of them being organic - we appreciate that, tho we'd probably buy them anyway. We have them pretty much nightly in our salads, and our 7-yr old loves having one as a treat - we've had him hooked since he was 3. :) We've been buying this brand thru Amazon for a couple years now, I can recommend it!

I bought a case. One of the cans leaked from being dented and was not eatable. I was cheated out of one can.

I have always trusted the Native Forest brand as they support sustainable agriculture with consideration for the environment. Hearts of palm are recommended for making vegan fish cakes. I think with the right spices and a pinch of black salt (from Amazon) they taste better and are void of mercury. Recipes are on the internet.

UPDATE had one can which was fine but the next was dented. I called amazon customer service and was told that it's not eligible for a return or refund. I’ve had about 70 cans of this brand of hearts of palm over the last two years and I’ve noticed a lot of variability not only with the size but also the tenderness of the stocks. This last shipment in January 2025 had a sticker on the outside of the box saying it was a product of Columbia, but the individual can said Ecuador. The stocks were larger than usual only fitting four to a can, but the salinity was way less than I’m used to. It seems like they are missing some salt which since I’m a person who cans my own vegetables makes me wonder if it’s safe to eat.However, I said Yolo and ate it anyway because the stocks were tender, and I was hungry for those who don’t know the larger stocks are very soft and mushy, and the smaller stocks can have a nice bite or crunch or if you’re unlucky might be unpleasantly fibrous. The occasional stock that is fibrous and wood- like in texture is nearly inedible. I never ate hearts of palm before buying this brand because conventional hearts of palm are extremely bad for the environment and cause deforestation in impoverished tropical countries. I pay extra for this brand for this reason that it is hopefully true to this word with sustainability and fair wages. This is also the reason why I put up with the inconsistent quality.

I’ve heard of perfectly healthy people die because they got botulism from consuming food that came from dented cans. Great deal, but I have to throw half of the cans away, and not to mention eating canned food is not the healthiest option but there’s no other alternative to organic palms of heart. I really wish one company would sell organic palms of hearts in a glass jar and in bulk. I eat palms of heart every day.

My whole family is hooked on palm hearts whether plain or in a variety different types of salads. We always liked the Reese brand although they were not the same as we were able to get overseas they were good until a few years ago. Now I find them all to be mushy and tasteless I have no idea what the change was, they aren't white, firm stalks any more they have a yellowish tinge and a weird texture. These are good not perfect but really good. I rarely get woody stalks and they are firm enough to slice, they don't just fall apart when you cut them. I have them set up for auto-delivery and split them with family members. The price is good compared to the grocery store although they have creeped up a little to over $4.00 a can and honestly even if they increase to over the grocery store prices I would still order these they are just better quality than I have been able to find in the stores.
