Tasty Tuber

Often referred to as a Mexican potato, the jicama (HI’k?-m?) is actually a legume. Crunchy, light-brown-skinned vegetables with white flesh, jicamas are packed with vitamin C and potassium, says Utah State University Extension specialist Teresa Hunsaker. The versatile tuber, which is low in calories and rich in fiber, can be eaten raw, steamed, boiled or baked.
