Beans YAM , Jicama,turnip, 0.5 kg

The outer skin of the Jicama is too thick to peel; its rough brown exterior should be cut away with a sharp knife. Often diced or julienned, Jicama is added to salads or side dishes for additional texture and flavor. Jicama can be eaten both raw and cooked. Sliced thinly, a large disc of Jicama can be used as a tortilla for tacos or as rolls for hors-d'oeuvres. A popular way to heat it in Mexico is sliced, chilled, and sprinkled with chili powder, salt, and lime juice.

To store yam bean, keep them unpeeled in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
