AN UNCOMMON VEGETABLE

Jicama is an uncommon vegetable to grow in your garden. Growing unusual vegetables is a passion of mine, and I always learn something new. Jicama is a root vegetable that tastes like something between an apple and a pear. It has a crispy texture that can be enjoyed raw, or cooked as a low-carb alternative to potatoes, and it's loaded with dietary fiber. There is also research that shows it has anti-inflammatory properties, a low glycemic load, and other health benefits.

One of my favorite things about gardening is finding out what a food looks like while it's growing.

We love jicama! Throw some Tajin seasoning on it!

Stir-fried jicama retains it's sweetness and it's crispness. I like it very much.

It looks like fun to grow and sounds delicious. Maybe I’ll give it a shot! Thanks for the great video as always! 🙏💚

Keep making this content. You’re the most similar YouTuber to my climate as far as I know. I’m in central Tx.

I had some jicama I grew for lunch. I sliced it up put some mozzarella, and baked for 10 minutes at 350. I grew mine in 3 gallon grow bags.

Awesome!!! I had no idea you could grow jimaca in Texas weather! Definitely will have to try it

Typically Central Americans don’t cook it. It’s most commonly eaten raw with lime and salt. It’s very delicious
