AN UNCOMMON VEGETABLE

Jicama is an uncommon vegetable to grow in your garden. Growing unusual vegetables is a passion of mine, and I always learn something new. Jicama is a root vegetable that tastes like something between an apple and a pear. It has a crispy texture that can be enjoyed raw, or cooked as a low-carb alternative to potatoes, and it's loaded with dietary fiber. There is also research that shows it has anti-inflammatory properties, a low glycemic load, and other health benefits.

Stir-fried jicama retains it's sweetness and it's crispness. I like it very much.

[@newgardenroad]

I'm definitely trying that! Thank you.

[@41degreesN12degreesE]

One of my favorite things about gardening is finding out what a food looks like while it's growing.

[@KeepOnGrowin]

We love jicama! Throw some Tajin seasoning on it!

[@newgardenroad]

Oh yeah! I tried it with fresh lime juice and sea salt, but Tajin is legit.

[@caleberwin65]

Keep making this content. You’re the most similar UA-camr to my climate as far as I know. I’m in central Tx.

[@newgardenroad]

I appreciate that! ✨

[@lynnlovessoil]

I never thought to grow jicama. Nice, thanks

[@newgardenroad]

Yes!! It was so much fun!

[@LostInThisGardenofLife]

It looks like fun to grow and sounds delicious. Maybe I’ll give it a shot! Thanks for the great video as always! 🙏💚

[@newgardenroad]

Thank you! 👍🏼✨

[@70vnv]

Awesome!!! I had no idea you could grow jimaca in Texas weather! Definitely will have to try it

[@newgardenroad]

I didn't know either, but there ya go! It was a lot of fun.

[@sonyasibongga4487]

Nice harvest 😊

[@newgardenroad]

🙏🏼✨

[@AmirsAllotment]

Great tips my friend 😊

[@newgardenroad]

Thank you! ✨

[@gardenshappen]

I had some jicama I grew for lunch. I sliced it up put some mozzarella, and baked for 10 minutes at 350. I grew mine in 3 gallon grow bags.

[@newgardenroad]

That sounds good! Now I have to try growing them in grow bags! 👍🏼✨

[@damarisvega865]

Typically Central Americans don’t cook it. It’s most commonly eaten raw with lime and salt. It’s very delicious

😁🍐🍎
