Poor Quality Canned Hearts of Palm: A Disappointing Amazon Experience

30 reviews between Jun 01, 2021 and Sep 30, 2023.

Many customers have complained about the poor quality and condition of the canned hearts of palm purchased from Amazon. The product has been described as soggy, tough, and with a foul smell. Numerous cans were severely dented, raising concerns of botulism. Some customers also found the taste and texture to be unpleasant. Despite being an organic brand, Native Forest received negative reviews for their hearts of palm. It is recommended to look for alternative brands.

  • dirty dented cans

    I ordered a case and the cans were all dirty and dented. There is brown stuff around the rims some worse than others but i washed 1 can off and sanitized it so i could try it. Most of the them were tough. I will be canceling my subscription as I won't be ordering them again and I am going to try to return the other cans.

  • These are a little bland, but good for Chinese food, good price.

    I like bamboo. If you like just eating bamboo as it is - you should look for a different brand that is more seasoned. These are bland, but that is good for stir fry cooking. Most Chinese restaurants around me do not use bamboo any more, so I add this to the Chinese food and it is perfect because its neutral, it does not over power anything, so you can mix in as much as you want.

  • Dented Cans

    I like the hearts of palm in this product, but at least half the cans in the 12-can box are dented. It's not due to shipping, as the box itself arrives undamaged. It's very apparent that the cans are dented before they are placed in the box. That's significant, as severely dented cans may lead to botulism. Native Forest seriously needs to address their canning procedure.

  • Not worth the money

    Most of the contents are too hard to eat, so a waste of money.

  • Bad smell. Had to throw out the whole meal.

    These were disgusting and ruined the entire red curry chicken meal. We grabbed these at Whole Foods rather than the usual Asian market ones for convenience. When cooked as usual, not bothering to closely smell the canned ingredients (which I won't do again) and when we started eating we thought "what is wrong here?" Strange chemical taste. We checked the fish sauce, lime leaves and everything else we could smell and finally got to the 1/4 filled can of unused bamboo shoots and it was clearly that. You could even smell it in the can after we though out the shoots. Another review said they used the wrong part of the plant. Whatever it was, it was inedible.

  • 4 (of 12) cans were dented

    Product is good, but this is the second box I've received from this vendor that contained dented cans. (4 of 12) Outside of the box looked okay upon receipt, but I didn't unpack it till today.

  • too tough

    I have had 12+ cans of this product. In every can, 25-50% of the pieces are too tough. I am moving too another brand.
