Jicama


Let me see if I can tell you in a few words what a JICAMA is: A Jicama is like a potato or a turnip, except maybe a little larger. It is tan in color. It mostly grows in Latin America. It is slightly sweet and slightly juicy and is a good source of fiber. You can eat it raw - as most people do - or you can cut it into pieces and toss it into a salad. Some people suggest cooking or frying. I have never eaten it that way but you can if you want. I eat it when I want to feel full and not gain any calories whatsoever. It is a great diet food, especially when combined with a little beef. I'll try and find a recipe that includes Jicama on the internet. There must be hundreds.
