Daily Health Tips

Daily Health Tips update for February 21:

Ready for another vegetable you may not see every day? If you like radish, try jicama! Pronounced “hick-a-ma,” it’s also known as the Mexican potato, but it doesn’t taste like a potato. This crispy vegetable tastes more like a water chestnut, pear and cucumber combined. One cup of jicama contains 46 calories and 6 grams of fiber! It’s also loaded with vitamin C.

Peel off the skin and eat it raw! Jicama can be shredded and added to slaw recipes or chopped and added to salsa.
