Calling all Jicama Experts!!!

Re: Calling all Jicama Experts!!!

Thanks Joy and Julie. You just made my day since I feel so relieved knowing that I've been o.k. I usually eat 1.5 cups almost every day. That's my daily snack. I love it. I was just wondering if I could have more and you just answered my question. It's pretty filling so I don't think I can ever have more than 2 cups a day.

For those of you having trouble finding Jicama... If you have a grocery store anywhere near you that caters to the Hispanic population, try there. It's never failed for me as a source. Now that I really live in the boonies, I wait to go to a 'real' town (160 miles) and get my fix.

I found them at the local walmart superstore. They were low so I almost didn't see them plus when I've seen pictures of them I always pictured they were smaller so when I saw a sign at walmart that said jicama I was looking around and thankfully they had the sticker on them that said what they were. lol It seems they were close to the tomatoes here but they just had a small bin of them. I bought 2 without knowing if I'd like them or not. I had some tonight as french fries. They were good.

I usually find mine at Whole Foods Market, but they don't always have them .

Every once in a while, I can find them at Walmart and I saw some at a local veggie market once but I had to pass on them because they were slimy. I hate that the stores put them next to veggies that can handle being misted constantly. Jicama doesn't like to be wet.

I just completed my first week in a while without jicama and I miss it so much. It has an incredible amount of fiber in it and was instrumental in keeping things "moving along" for me... I can tell I haven't been eating it (if you know what I mean).

I'm going on a jicama search today... wish me luck!
