(Pronounced HEE-kah-mah)
Jicama (also known as a Mexican potato) is a large, bulbous root. This crunchy, juicy tuber available from Melissa’s, has a thick brown skin and a white crunchy flesh. A popular Mexican vegetable, Jicama can weigh anywhere from one to six pounds. Its sweet, nutty flavor is good both raw and cooked. Once cooked, Jicama retains its crisp, water chestnut-type texture and flavor. Jicama is often a fiesta favorite!
Seasonality: Available year-round.
Selection & Storage: When selecting Melissa’s Jicama look for firm, well-formed tubers, free of blemishes. Store whole in a cool, dark, dry place for up to 3 weeks. Wrap cut pieces in plastic and refrigerate for one week.
