Ingredient Highlight: Jicama

Jicama is a crunchy, refreshing and slightly sweet root vegetable native to Mexico. It’s texture can be compared to that of a radish and the taste, while mild and faint, can be similar to an apple or pear. Some of our favorite ways to enjoy jicama are in the form of simple slices as a snack, or incorporated julienne style in salads, crudité platters or even stir fries.
