Jicama


Jicama is known as Mexican potato or Mexican turnip.  The flesh of jicama is made up of nearly 90% water.

Look for brown jicama that are smooth, firm, and feel heavy for their size.

One cup of sliced jicama is an excellent source of fiber and vitamin C.

Always peel jicama before eating.  Sprinkled sliced jicama with lime juice and chili powder for a light snack.

Add jicama strips to your favorite vegetable stir fry or salad.

Jicamas are available year round.

Store them in a cool, dry place for up to four months.  Keep sliced jicama sealed in a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
