Do you know jicama or Mexican turnip? I really liked this,i used to eat with native vinegar and salt.It is popular in Philippines as well.Here are the health benefits; Jicama contains many important vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, folate, potassium and magnesium. It's low in calories and high in fiber and water. It also contains antioxidants, including vitamins C and E and beta-carotene. May i know who tasted this turnip here? How do you like it? Photo:google

@rhuenz yes, especially when summer time here. I slice it and put in inside the ref to make it cooler
