Jicama

Miss Misunderstood Veggie. Nondescript Jicama (pronounced HIK-ka-ma) is a root veggie with a surprisingly refreshing texture. It can be cooked or is delish raw, and has a very mild taste that takes up dressing flavors well.

Preparation Tips

Peel, and slice the bottom to create a stable base and cut into sticks, dice or grate. Can be cooked or eaten raw. Great in salads or as crudités and pairs well with lime, cucumbers, peppers and cilantro.
