Jicama is a large, bulbous root vegetable. A bulb may weigh one or two pounds and has a rough 'n' tough brown skin which should be peeled before eating or cooking.
Sweet Like an Apple, Used Like a Water Chestnut. Jicama is incredibly versatile. Served raw, it has a crunchy, white flesh that tastes similar to a not-too-sweet apple. It can be cut into chunks and added to salads, or cut into strips and eaten as part of a raw vegetable platter with guacamole or other dips.
