ooh, that's alot! I just fried some slices up in butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and splenda. Yummy. I only had about 1/2 a cup though because I wasn't sure.

Thanks for the info!

Re: How much jicama = 5 carbs

Here's a couple of nutritional database sites that will help you figure out the carb counts for foods. Bookmark them because these are very important sites. I use them everyday to check carb counts on the foods I eat.

http://www.calorieking.com
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

There are also several carb counting books. I like "The Complete Book of Food Counts" by Corrine T. Netzer.

I know jicama is sometimes called a mexican potato, but wouldn't a rutabaga be just a rutabaga in sweden? (rutabaga below)
