Black Bean, Palm Heart and Corn Salad
Palm hearts are the tender centers of young palm trees. Traditionally the hearts have been considered a delicacy due to their expense - a semi-mature tree must be destroyed to harvest them. In recent years, domesticated palms have been bred for farming and can produce 40 or more stalks in a growing season. Hearts of palm are now available canned in many grocery stores, although they are generally cheaper at Asian markets.
