ABOUT JICAMA

INTRO

Jicama, from Nahuatl xīcamatl, Mexican yam bean, or Mexican turnip, is the name

  • f a native Mexican vine, although the name most commonly refers to the plant’s

edible tuberous root. The root’s exterior is light brown and papery, while its inside is creamy white with a crisp texture that resembles raw potato or pear. The fmavor is sweet and starchy, reminiscent of some apples or raw green beans, and it is usually eaten raw with a wide variety of condiments like lime juice or chili powder. It can be cut into thin wedges and dipped in salsa. In Mexico, it is popular in salads, fresh fruit combinations, fruit bars, soups, and other cooked dishes. BENEFITS One of the most important elements of jicama is the high levels of dietary fjber that it contains for improving digestion. Jicama’s fjber is infused with oligofructose inulin, which has zero calories and doesn’t metabolize in the body into sugars. This means that for diabetic patients, jicama can be a great way to have some sweet food without worrying about the blood sugar fmuctuation that is usually a result. There is a very large amount of vitamin C found in jicama; 100 grams of jicama is approximately 40% of our entire daily requirement for ascorbic acid. Vitamin C is an essential part of our immune system health and stimulates the white blood cells, which are the body’s fjrst main line of defense against illness. Jicama also contains inulin, a fructan that promotes bone health by enhancing absorption

  • f calcium from other foods, protecting against osteoporosis.
