Crunchy like water chestnut, with a very light
apple-like flavor. I mince it into tomatillo salsa.
It's a delightful thing to play with. Think tomato
and onion, with jicama strips, dressed with a
lime vinagrette and dusted with chili dust.

Orange slices with jicama slices, dusted with
cayenne. Salad.

Great when you want a bit of fresh crunch when
you want more texture and freshness of flavor.

Put it into fruit smoothies! Wonderful.
