radish.

I've been hearing a lot from people about how good raw jicama is, so I

bought one the other day, peeled and sliced it and, um, I was not

impressed. It tasted fermented, kind of like juice that has begun to

go bad. Did I just get a bad one or is this the normal flavor? I've

had it fried into chips before and I liked it, so that was not the

flavor I was expecting.

-Rachael,

No that is not the " normal " flavor of Jicama. A good fresh one will be

crunchy and a bit sweet. An older one will sometimes have a starchy

taste. I love fresh raw Jicama in salads. Also great for dipping in

your favorite sauce. I am not sure how to tell you what a fresh Jicama

looks like. I just look for a medium size, firm and sometimes smelling

the end will help. That is the best way to tell if veggies and fruits

are good .

Ok, well, the one I got was a bit bruised, even though I did cut off the bruises

before I tried any of it. It probably wasn't that fresh either. Glad to know

its not supposed to taste disgusting...I was really disappointed. It might be a

while until I try it again though since, ugh! that was gross!
