Can you eat jicama daily?

Jicama is also a good source of vitamin C with one cup providing 40 percent of the vitamin C you need each day (similar to what you’d get from the same amount of tomatoes).

While vitamin C is important and does help support your immune system, it’s not in the way many people have been led to believe

What’s the best way to eat jicama?

Image result

The best way to eat jicama is just to peel it and cut it into matchsticks then eat it raw. It’s very good when refrigerated for a little extra coolness too. A classic way to eat it is to dip the matchsticks in lime juice, chili powder, and salt.

What jicama looks like?

On the outside, the jicama looks like a light brown beet. Inside, it looks and feels like a raw potato. But it doesn’t taste like one. It’s crisp and slightly sweet, like an apple.

What can you substitute for jicama?

The first alternative is water chestnuts which are crispy and remain crunchy even when cooked.

OR – Jerusalem artichokes (sun chokes) are not as sweet as jicama but offer a nice fresh flavor and a crispy texture. OR – Daikon will provide a similar texture but it will add a little heat and light radish flavor.
