What is Jicama?
It is peeled and eaten raw or cooked, and has a taste that is described as slightly sweet and nutty. You might get a better sense of the taste by considering what some cookbook authors recommend as substitutes if you can’t find jicama uncooked in a salad, the best substitution might be a firm, not-too-sweet apple. In a cooked dish, go the water-chestnut route. There are an awful lot of recipes available that use jicama either in a starring role or as a humble contributor among them, lots of salads, slaws, salsas, relishes, and fish dishes. |
