Put the French fries down. Seriously… nobody needs that in their body. Instead, try a snack of fresh sliced jicama sticks. Delicious!
What is jicama, you ask? It’s one of those veggies you walk right past at the market… it looks like a potato on the outside, looks like a radish on the inside, and tastes a bit like an Asian pear. My pint size diners call jicama a “fruit vegetable” because it’s sweet. Even better than the taste is the nutritional punch – jicama is starchy, with enough calories and carbs to make a filling
snack, and offers a LOT of fiber and vitamin C. Take that, French fries!
Simply cut a jicama in half, trim off the peel, and slice into French fry size sticks. Sprinkle with cinnamon (not sugar, just cinnamon) and enjoy. Sometimes, healthy eating really is this simple!
Wow, I’ve never heard of this creature before. I mean vegetable. Do they taste the same?
Jicama looks like a potato, but tastes like a pear. Quite a fun veggie!
A potato pair. That sounds funny.
Definitely a must-try for me! Thanks for the share! I learned something new everyday! 😀
Enjoy! 🙂
