Looks yummy, but I've never heard of jicama before. I'll have to google it, lol.

Hi Kathy,

I found this..... I saw it on TV and thought it "sounded" and looked good. As they say the try it you may like it. Or NOT

If I ever see these in our local grocery stores, I'll give it a try. Thanks.

Jicama looks kind of like a brown, round, slightly muddy potato. It's very delicious and crispy when cut finely into straws for a salad. You can check around the 'Latin foods' section of produce. It's usually close to the plantains.

Thanks! I live in a small city and we don't have any Latin or Asian sections, unfortunately. One grocery store sometimes brings in different items in produce so I'll keep a look out there. I'd love to try it.

Thanks

I did and thought they were awful. Jicama is a sort of turnip and had a bitter taste like radish or horseradish. They look delicious, but nobody would eat them when I made them.

I'm with you on this. One bite and NOBODY is fooled!

If you want a carb swap, cauliflower tots are MUCH tastier!
