Jicama...

I always forget about jicama, and it isn’t always the easiest vegetable to get!  It seems every time I want it the market is out of it or when I do see it I don’t need it!  But, when the timing is right, its a tasty amazing treat - kind of like a mild crispy apple. The jicama itself looks sort of like a big round potato with a taproot, but don't be put off by its less-than-attractive exterior. Just peel it and cut it into sticks - great dipped in salsa, or chomped on solo and of course go ahead and add it to your salads. Crunchy!
