I was in NC shopping and a very short woman was trying--and failing--to reach to the top shelf of canned vegetables So I stopped to help (as much as I can while shrinking myself) and we ended up chatting. Turns out she was on a no-gluten, low-carb diet and found this product: linguini made from Hearts of Palm. Total can is only 60 calories;
This woman had dropped 26 pounds in 7 weeks...which is pretty amazing...and was currently using the Palmini as often as she could because she was still at the point where she wanted bulk amounts of foods. She rinsed it off to remove the canning taste and then used it mostly as a salad. I opted to use it as God and Mother Nature meant...as a pasta: I had chicken sausage sauce already made and topped off the rinsed palmini with a big dollop.
It was very...okay and reminded me of the first time I made spaghetti squash. You know it's not pasta. Your mouth knows it's not pasta. But it's okay...for a non-pasta.
Also, I'm not spacey! So score one for Palmini
(it's also available as Angel Hair faux-pasta.)
