The 5 BENEFITS Of Adding Jicama To Your Diet | Dr. Steven Gundry 

Best way to eat fresh Jicama is peeled, thinly sliced into a bowl then covered with lemon juice and sprinkled with lemon pepper. Great crunchy "no cook" snack that is healthy too!

My husband and I love Jicama. We like to eat it as a snack. We slice it like chips however it’s thicker. We squeeze lime juice all over it and we add a seasoning called Tajin it’s a mixture of chili flakes with salt and some lime flavor. Makes my mouth water when I smell all these ingredients together. It’s soooo refreshing in the summer. I prefer eating my veggies raw I think it tastes better than cooked. 😋

Jicama, tajin chili powder and squeeze a lime 😋

I recently decided to try jicama and bought one at the local Co-op. I usually fast until at least noon. My first meal of the day includes a selection of root vegetables, whatever is currently available. I slice them, dip them in avocado oil mayonnaise and eat the slices raw. I enjoy the jicama. It has a unique taste and just like Dr. Gundry, I thought that it tastes kind of like an apple.

I went to google, then realize I have been eating jicama since young 😂. In Asia , we called it bengkuang, we ate it raw in our mixed salad with a black sweet prawn paste. I always love it but didn’t realize it’s a healthy food. Thanks for the info, will eat more now.

Dr.Grundy - we include sliced jicama in vegetables spring rolls - so crunchy and yummy, also we eat it as it, so healthy and refreshing in hot countries. We love jicama.....called it singkamas in my native language.

Being hispanic, I love jicama. a little watermelon and small amount of tajin with it is awesome. ❤❤

Peel chop into small squares Lime , avocado, cilantro This salad is amazing So fresh

In the Philippines we eat as snack just like that taking off the skin. I put it in my chop suey and my veggies egg roll. I make salad out of it with raw mango cucumbers cilantro and lime juice. Thanks for giving the benefits of Jicama n other tips to prepare it ❤

Raw Jicama sticks are crisp, light with no need for anything it’s like a celery stick, it’s a great snack or dipper for guacamole, I would eat these to replace lunch during my lunchtime walk 💚

I went to sprouts to buy a jicama and they were covered in wax, I guess to retain freshness. I found it easy to peel and tried out a French fry recipe and it was ok. Now that I know of the inulin and nutritional profile I think I will shred it on my salads like a carrot and or try it using my new hand held potato slicer that has a shredding blade on the other side of it and try a raw pesto pasta. Just bought 5 of your books and see I will definitely have to make changes when it comes to making my salsa. Maybe making bulk salsa in advance and either freezing or freeze drying it so I have it on hand at all times. The only constant in life is change. Thank you for all you do Dr. Gundry to keep us healthy😊

I love jicama. I make fries, shred it with cabbage and add lime juice and seasonings for fish tacos, in place of apples for a mock apple pie etc...

How about adding it to Kimchi?

Ok Jicama is bangkuang in Indonesian, used to be very popular when i was young but now more difficult to find. In Indonesia i used to eat it as part of the fruit salad, with peanut powder, palm sugar, chilli, and shrimp paste. In Singapore am not sure if they are used in spring rolls.

I have bought them a a whole foods store already cut like fries and dipped them in the Gundry guacamole recipe provided his book. Pretty good on both counts.

so did I understand correctly you can eat it raw?

In south-east-asia , jicama is always eaten raw in salads or snacks.

You’re a good dude , Doc

I loved jicama!I almost eat it everyday ..the way I eat jicama is i cut it into small stripped and put vinegar and salt and pepper..they are so delicious and crunchy.

Tried making air-fried jicama fries after watching this vid. They were absolutely delicious, will be having again in the near future. Thanks for tips Dr. G, great stuff!

I juice jicama so that I get more veges and not as much fruit in my juices. It makes a great juice...even just on its own. Or you can juice jicama and then blend with dates to make a sweet milk. Im going to try fries and chips. Thanks.

We also eat it raw in the Philippines. Also we add it to meat for rolls or dumplings. Basically it's our substitute for water chestnuts (which are uncommon). Just make sure to let it drain a bit so it don't make your wrapper soggy.

I love jicama with tajin liquid and honey!! Try it you will love it

its call sengkuang in asia malaysia, singapore. they eat raw in rojak.

Im from Mexico and I have one of those a day, cheap and great. Can you talk about the Zapote Family? I have already give the fruit the boot but besides the sweetness I think they must be loaded with polyphenols right? Because the orange and specially the black ones are really incredible in colours.

I cut them in to sticks and eat them with my blanched almond butter or pecan butter too! It’s more like a afternoon snack.😊

Thank You, Dr. G.

Apple/carrot merged

Watching this video as I'm eating jicama with lime juice, tajin and salt .. chilled of course is the best way

Thank you.

Hi Doctor Gundry, speaking about inulin, what do you think about drinking chicory coffee? I drink it three times a day, instead of coffee, here in Italy my grandparents used to drink it. Is it healthy as it seems? Thank you so much!

Jicama and watermelon with lime is a very delicious and refreshing snack

Love jicama! Sprinkled with some sea salt flakes

Aww really difficult to get hold of in the UK, there is a supplier in London but its out of stock!

Can't wait to try it like french fries. Do you recommend to buy organic jicama or is conventional OK? No stores in my area w/ organic jicama.

I usually eat it fresh with nothing on it or with spicy shrimp paste sause so delicious!!!!!

I slice it raw and drizzle some salt. Yummy snack or if meal is not satisfying, this can help.

Thank you Dr Gundry! I love Jicama❤

Does Jicama have phytoestrogens? If so, I need to avoid this because of endometrial hyperplasia.

@4:08 ? Maybe 400 degrees for 25 minutes?

Love them, didn't no they had so many benefits

I eat jicama plain or with lemon and salt. I didn’t have idea of cooking jicama.

Thanks

I love jicama

I can’t find it in giant or Wei’s markets in York pa. ???

Is it available in the UK? 🇬🇧

I never saw this in a Shop here in my area around Germany and France🤔🤔seems that could be the next Superfood 😄perhaps someone knows good source to buy here around Germany or France? Thank you very much and greetings from Andreas in Alsace /France

I love jicama ❤

I just bought jicama wraps from Trader Joe’s. ❤

I love jicama! I eat it raw with or without a salad ❤

Wouldn't the UNCOOKED Jicama have the most nutritional value? Favorite way: 3x3 mm diameter long sticks, like a salad.

I dip into ranch. But my dog love jicama too. So i share. Lol

The first time i tried them, definitely hook,love it

Great video! I eat Jicama everyday. Question... why is it mentioned at the end of the video to avoid storing it in the fridge? That's actually where I store my jicama

We eat jicama a lot 🇲🇽

Love It anyway and Dr. G. Thank You Thank You Thank You .....

I juice Jicama,so so delicious and I cut it up like French fries and eat them raw delicious

Are the fries in your cook book?

I love these ideas!

It is delicious and I am so happy I love it, thank you for the affirmation that this is good to eat 🎉❤

I grew up with Jicama. Peel the skin and eating like fruit. Medium sized are more tastier. Every kids like them.

Mto Bom 👏 Thanks

Is it good for IBS? I already go multiple unwanted times a day .

So we dont need to put jicama in fridge? No wonder it becomes get rotten when I put it in refrigerator.

If fiber is not carbs then why do they include them in carb count? Serious question

i add cinnamon and snack on it

Is it safe to eat raw jicama ? Is raw jicama contain lectin as potato ?

Aaand we‘re back to reading cards…

This stuff creates bezoars no thanks - in fact when I tried your diet I nearly died from a bezoar

100mg has only 150mg of pottasium and it heart healthy according to dr gundry । how funny

I just love to eat it raw😉‼️

LOVE JICAMA!!!!

I hate it. It has the same texture as pears.

I am sorry, you want me to eat a carb that is mostly fiber and is not nutrient dense? It is not local and has to be shipped? You are starting to sound like another bought and paid for academics spouting whatever your sponsors tell you to. This is what happens when money influences the message.

I love jicama, except it gives me the 💃🏻🚽🧻
