Jicama (yam bean) nutrition facts. Jicama, also known as yam bean, is a round, fleshy taproot vegetable of bean family plants. Its underground starchy root is one of the popular edible tuber-vegetables grown in many parts of Central American, South Asian, Caribbean, and some Andean South American regions.
Jicama is a crispy, sweet, edible tuber that resembles a turnip in physical appearance, although the plants are not related. It has been cultivated in South America for centuries, and the vegetable is quite popular in Mexican cuisine.Jicama's unique flavor lends itself well to salads, salsas, and vegetable platters.icama tastes more like fresh sugar snap peas or sweet green beans than turnips or potatoes, which people had asked above.
