Jícama is a remarkably healthy and (in my opinion) under eaten vegetable! Jícama is a (basically) flavorless root vegetable with a wonderful texture. It is low in calories, high in fiber, and has a very low glycemic index. The fiber in jícama is filled with oligofructose inulin, which increases the absorption of calcium from other foods, helps maintain healthy bones, & promotes a healthy gut.

Jícama is very refreshing and perfect on a hot day or after a light workout.
