What Is Jicama?
The Jicama (Pachyrhizus erosus), also known as Yam Bean or the “Mexican Turnip,” is a vine native to Mexico. The edible root has a brownish-yellow, paper-like skin with a crunchy white interior, similar to a potato. The inside of the Jicama is semi-sweet, as well as starchy, and is delicious enough to be eaten raw. This root, though native to Mexico, was initially spread to the Philippines by the Spaniards, and eventually grown in Indonesia, China, Southeast Asia. Now you can enjoy this international staple grown locally by our farmers in the Redlands of South Florida.
