JICAMA JUICE

Traditionally Used For:

Upset Stomachs

Hemorrhoids

A Good Source Of:

Calcium

Phosphorus

Freshness Test:

Look for firm Jicamas. Avoid those with soft areas and of course, bruising.

Important:

Nothing to report.

General:

Jicamas come from Mexico. Hence, the name is pronounced like "hee-ka-ma". I've never had this vegetable as I do not live in an area where Jicamas are widely grown or eaten. But from what I have heard, it has a nice mellow flavor.
