http://www.friedas.com The Specialty Produce experts at Frieda's Inc. share their knowledge about Jicama. Learn all about this healthy Mexican root vegetable and how to use fresh Jicama in recipes.
Also known as a Mexican potato or a yam bean, Jicama is a favorite in Mexico and has become a favorite vegetable throughout Asia and is often substituted for fresh water chestnuts. The flesh is crunchy and juicy-crisp with a mild sweetness. Great in salads and as a healthy snack for kids. Does not turn brown from oxidation when sliced! Can be eaten raw or cooked. Perfect sliced into salads or grated into slaws. Dice into ceviches, stir-frys or sauces. Julienne into sticks. Perfect for veggie platters or dipped into dressings, salsa, guacamole or yogurt dips.
