What a cool story, Linnea! Amazing how these plants have an entire life of their own, without humans present. –Ina, Food Revolution Network Team

They get it freshly cut up at my Mexican market in a small airtight container. Very nice.

I once planted it in a really big pot and then went on a trip. When i returned, the jicams roots had grown so big that they had broken the pot .
I also like yacon.

The problem is that it is very hard to find good quality. I throw away a lot of them when cutting them reveals brown and bad tasting flesh . I stoped buying them , it is great pity!

We served it as raw sticks or rounds with lime juice. Now days, jicama is easier to buy in the western US, but finding organic jicama can be a challenge. It was fascinating to learn how it grows as well as all the nutrients you cited in your article. Thank you for sharing so many details and recipes.
