Yes! That’s also my favourite way to eat it! Though they also sell jicaletas here, which is a big slice that’s covered in some chili powder and chamoy and it’s really lovely too 😩
Made a jicama, black bean and corn side dish just now. I added red onion, cilantro, salt & pepper, smoked paprika and a little cumin. Tossed it all with a cilantro lime dressing. It's amazing! My husband and I thought the jicama itself tasted like a mix between a potato, celery and apple.
When I am fortunate enough to find nice fresh jicama in my local grocery store, I often approach other customers and ask them if they have tried it! My main ways of eating it are raw, in salads and stir-fried in place of canned water chestnuts! (Being an older lady, I feel pretty safe in doing this!)
Haha....I found this video looking for uses of this as we got some here at the local food bank I work at! It's still "too strange" for a lot of our clients, but maybe this will help me guide them!
Thats cause you are supposed to eat some not one. Lol! You shouldnt eat the whole thing in a day. Thing is loaded with fiber so it will empty you out if you eat too much.
