Jicama
 

How do you eat yours?

in thin slices, as "chips" for salsa
in strips, dusted with lime and chile powder
in cubes, to give salads a nice crunch factor

One can also cook jicama, but I'd far rather eat it raw. Same goes for turnips and kohlrabi, which is my favorite of the three. (Kohlrabi is a bit less starchy, a bit sweeter, and has roughly three times the amount of vitamin C than jicama.)

I just heard of this root from the biggest loser. Going to buy one today I hope. I'll probably have to ask for it cause I wouldn't know a jicama from that other thing you named

If you're going to try jicama, try yucca as well!

I boil mine, then grill it - its got a potato like consistency and flavor - for less points. Its sooooo good.

Do I have to go to a specialty store to get these?

I was going to go to Stop & shop today but the people already made me stressed out so I came home and said, forget that.

I've found them at regular grocery stores, specifically stop and shop, before.

Yucca looks like a huge root, but it may be seasonal.

thanks/ I'm going to walgreens later so I may stop by. This Christmas Traffic is roaring I tell ya. roaring. :snowball:
