Jicama
Jicama pronounced...hick'-um-a

Sometimes called Mexican potato, this root vegetable has a mildly sweet, elusive flavor, and a crisp, moist texture. It looks something like a cross between a potato and a turnip, with a thin brown skin, a round, turnip-like form and tail, and smooth white flesh.
Varieties
Jicama varies somewhat in size.
Buying and storing tips
Jicama can be found in the produce section of most health food stores, specialty markets, and supermarkets. Look for heavy, dense roots and smooth skin. Store it in a cool, dry place; too much moisture will cause mold.
Availability
Jicama is available from November through May.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Wash and peel just before using, as the flesh darkens when exposed to air. Add sliced or grated jicama to salads, or cut it in cubes and serve it with a squeeze of lime juice and a dusting of chili powder. It’s a good substitute for water chestnuts in stir-fry dishes.
