Jicama (Hi-ku-mah)– root vegetable that is juicy and crispy, with a somewhat sweet and nutty taste. Tastes like a cross in between a potato and a pear … And it’s an excellent source of fiber and vitamin C!

Why I enjoy it: Jicama is extremely flexible and discovered at many grocery stores. Can be eaten raw as a treat, in salads, or prepared in stir fry. This jicama slaw has the fresh taste of summer with cilantro and a crisp mix of veggies.
