Jicama

Jicama, also known as Pachyrhizus erosus, is a crisp, refreshing root vegetable with a mildly sweet, nutty flavour. Often referred to as Mexican yam bean or water chestnut, its light, crunchy texture makes it ideal for raw salads, slaws, and dips. Jicama is low in calories and high in fibre, vitamin C, and antioxidants, adding a healthy, crunchy element to various dishes and providing a pleasant contrast in texture and taste.
