Detailed description

Hearts of palm are at the core of our business since 1985, making us one of Ecuador's leading exporters with around 300+ containers shipped every year.

Our palmito comes from cultivated Bactris gasipaes, a multi-stem palm that regrows after harvest, so no wild palms are cut. With 20% of our raw material from our own plantations and full traceability, we deliver consistent tenderness, color and calibration.

We offer whole stems, slices, salad cut and tips, plus pasta-style cuts (spaghetti, angel hair, lasagna) and riced, a natural low-carb, gluten-free and plant-based alternative. Available in cans, glass jars and pouches for retail and food service, with long shelf life at ambient temperature. Private label and mixed-container programs available.
