PalminiLinguine Pasta | Low-Carb Pasta, Low-Calorie Hearts of Palm Pasta | Keto, Gluten Free, Vegan, Non-GMO, Plant Based, Healthy Noodles | Seen on Shark Tank |(12 Ounce - Pack of 1)

Our daughter is vegan and wants to limit processed carbs so we try to cook plant-based pasta dishes she can eat, and ideally us as well. We have tried several in the past which she mostly hated because often times they wouldn't hold their shape, would be gummy, taste funny, were mushy, or super hard at the other end of the spectrum. And I can cook all kinds of dishes, so I'm aware of lengths of time to boil and how to check if done. These required a little tweaking if you don't want too hard of a noodle with a little crunch - they remind me of the consistency of bamboo shoots found in many Asian dishes. I was a little worried if I boiled too long, they would become too soft, but I soon discovered it would be hard to cause that to happen even if you tried. You can boil these a long time and they remain firm. So I boiled them about 7 minutes, and I think they could have gone a little longer like 10 minutes easily. I would have liked them a little softer, but as part of a vegetarian, vegan, or any meal these can work really well. They only make about 2 small servings, but I was happy to see that they are responsibly harvested so both a healthy and sustainable option. In the photo I attached, I boiled them with some mushrooms just to kill two birds with one stone, took the photo without the other ingredients so you could see the noodles well, and then I added a homemade pasta sauce with tomatoes, herbs, and garlic (added cheese for my serving) and the dish turned out delicious. This is definitely a good viable plant-based substitute for typical high-carb glutenous pasta.

As a diabetic on a low carb diet, the closest I’ve gotten to having spaghetti with my meatballs and low sugar sauce is the shredded Parmesan cheese I put on it. No, this doesn’t taste or feel exactly like pasta, but it feels like you’re eating pasta. It’s more filling like pasta. Yes, it’s expensive but try eating 1/2 serving at a time. If you’re used to not having any, half is better than nothing.

I should preface this review by saying I'm a big fan of hearts of palm. I can eat them right out of a jar. So this product intrigued me from the start. And given realistic expectations, it did not disappoint. I created a tasty "pasta" dish using these noodles, some quality jarred tomato sauce, and vegan sausage. I rinsed the noodles well, but I did not soak them in milk (as they suggest to get rid of the palm taste). I like the palm taste and really, once you add other ingredients to your dish, the taste moves way to the background.As you can see from the photos, they are the shape of linguine, however, each piece is only about 4 inches long. They remain firm, giving something close to a pasta al dente feel in your mouth. And sauce sticks to them. I found them more tasty than say zucchini noodles, but not as tasty as lentil or garbanzo bean noodles.Hearts of palm are basically water, so if you want some real nutritional value you're going to have to add a protein and some good fats, like I did with the vegan sausage. In this context, they are an excellent wheat pasta substitute.They are however, expensive. Each package is maybe 2 servings if the pasta is not the main. For me, it was one big serving.

Very mild and an excellent option to high carb linguine. I have tried many options and these are the best and most filling. Being Italian I can still have my pasta while maintaining my Keto lifestyle. They cook up quick and don’t break apart. I just used a diced tomatoes sauce in the picture that I added Parmesan cheese, Italian spices and garlic to. Delizioso!

if you are looking for a low carb pasta substitute this is the best and one and no cooking required. works so well on the keto diet and only has simple ingredients.

Excellent product, great substitute for those on a low carb diet

Did not like the taste and the texture was not great

Who hates carbs? ME. Who loves pasta? Also me. Who thinks every other pasta alternative she's ever tried has deserved to be fed to awful humans as a punishment for wrongs? ::raises hand::Then, I came across this. It's pretty much perfect. It has a delicate flavor that can be matched with virtually any sauce (don't tell Nona you aren't eating her homemade noodles). It holds it's shape, has a comparable texture to real pasta, and is ready in far less time. SHUT UP. It also works really well as a vegetable, and pairs beautifully with other veggies - giving us endless possibilities for pasta dishes without the carb overload, side dishes, and quick low(er) calorie vegetarian/vegan options for lunch and dinner.Despite my overwhelming enthusiasm for this product, I do have some issues with it. First and foremost, the cans say there's three servings in them. NOPE. My husband is an eater, and the cans hold nowhere near what anyone would deem three servings. It's realistically only one. *Maybe* two if you're making a snack, but calling a can three servings is ridiculous. Second, the cost. It's way more expensive than pasta. At between $4-5 a can, it's 4-5 times more expensive than a box of pasta that legitimately feeds 4-6 people. If you're looking for a pasta alternative that's comparable in price to pasta, this isn't it. If it were priced more competitively, I'd stockpile this because I'd eat a lot of it, but alas, I'll only be purchasing it three small cans at a time on occasion.If price isn't a factor and you aren't feeding Jethro, I highly recommend this for quick nutritious meals and as a pasta substitute. It opens up all kinds of pasta-ish meals for people avoiding gluten or who have Celiac disease. It exceeded my expectations and has been a pleasant surprise. Mangia!!!
