[@billg4630]

I am dieabetic and miss cereal...liked cream of wheat as a kid...cubed and boiled jicama then blended in a blender with heavy cream and a little butter was trying to make mashed potato substitute..it was really good but sweet tasted like sweetened cream of wheat to me...my new breakfast maybe also makes good chips in dehydrator with. Your favorite seasonings

[@Nefertitidancer]

These are so good. Better then carrots. They also have resistant starch and are good for your gut bugs.

[@Lakota505]

I love jicama. Unfortunately where I live it is very HARD to find. I love it with a squirt of lime and chili powder. YUMM! Just one more reason why I miss California.

[@mumzly1]

So, you didn't answer when it's ripe..........

[@mariakrehel1724]

Watch until the end

[@sonoflecter]

here in mexico we put some lime juice on top just like you did plus some chilli pouder....muuuuuy bueno!!!

[@movingtotexas]

Thanks for the video, I tried it with lime and chili powder and loved it!

[@bustacapinlutha]

Cool. I have lived in south Texas for years and they are sold here. Now I can buy one and know what to expect - water chestnuts, yum!!

[@mammichulaaar4769]

Just had some with limon y Tajin. Yum!

[@natedoe1569]

Your catch line was funny. Thanks for letting me know when it's ripe too! Lol

[@lalagarcia2749]

[@LindaRaeSue]

It is also delicious dipped in French onion dip.

[@euphoriab3855]

My man's was raised with the Mexicans! That's what's up I love jicama

[@normajeanstapleton7708]

Yes, sweet, not really but refreshing is my favorite word for jicama💜

[@ingesumadre]

[@fairannie9]

Unfortunately we don't have them in Australia, but sounds very yummo :)

[@rawcrave]

I have never had one before. I am on a try new things streak. This is on my list next. Thanks for sharing :)

[@pennyanonymous4293]

They make a great dipper, too.

[@yllekr123]

Eat a lot of eat myself. I like it the way you fixed it to.

[@franzevna]

Love your videos! I am a vegetable person.

[@andersnenuz3790]

spot on with the ingredients. jicaama. salt, lime and roasted chili powder. mmmm mmm mmm

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

KNEW FROM THE START HE WAS MORE INTERESTED MORE IN EATING THIS SHIT THAN TELLING YOU WHEN IT'S RIPE.

[@Theinterventionfan]

love your videos looks yummy!

[@warriorbride999]

I just like lime and sea salt or some people put sugar on it, and I heard that the smaller the better they will be SWEETER and not so GRAINY and I did buy a bigger one thinking I would get more for my money and it was grainier than the smaller ones , they said to get them as small as your FIST, and I tried to put them in the frig in a sealed container, but for some reason they went bad after a couple of days, how do you store them ?,

[@mexelmesh]

here in the philippines, it's called singkamas.

[@Nebiros21]

I don't know if I'm referring to the same root. Here in Indonesia we have a root vegetable called Ubi. By the way, can those be fried into chips? If so maybe It really is what I think it is...

[@Yuliana_lisova]

How to know if it's ripe???

[@CoreyChambersLA]

Put your mic closer to your mouth. "when its fresh" Did not desribe how to tell when its ripe.

[@FromAgonyToLight]

That’s exactly how things are eaten here in Mexico haha lime and Tajin on everything 😂

[@WendyWendy2010]

I once was told it's similar to an apple, is this true? Can it be cooked.?

[@TMVDave]

You still didn't tell us when it's ripe. You said look for a smooth skin with no bruises or mold. That's it?

[@skeymoson]

Thanks So much for this .. I owe ya one .. good job

[@gdastray]

i think this is bengkoang (our term: sengkuang). Ubi is called tapioca

[@swpier29]

You look like Stephen Harper, but you appear to have actual emotions, so I know you're legit. (:

[@thelowcarbchronicles9059]

Total CLICK BAIT!!! Ok I'm still waiting for the part when he tells you how to know when it's RIPE. 4 minutes and 10 seconds of my life I will never get back😠

[@sadisticjupiter1127]

Omg I miss Mexico the best food!!!!

[@TMVDave]

Thanks!

[@chadsshow2010]

Can you do a video on starfruit?

[@germantrejo4844]

from witch mexican u still ta resepi from..?

[@badguy4839]

Did i need cook Jicama before peel it ?

[@justgivemethetruth]

By the way I think potatoes come from Mexico/South America, so it's a bit funny to say this is the Mexican potato. All kinds of weird potatoes from South America, some that you have to eat with clay to absorb toxins.

[@justgivemethetruth]

Great video on Jicama … Hicama, but I am sure you meant to say it comes from Mehico … Mexico … , right " ;-)

[@billiedowdy8412]

the "i" is pronounced like our lone "e" sound... sorry, i was a language major... love these!

[@chadsshow2010]

Sorry, saw.you did a video on,it.

[@sternchen1965st]

I never heard about it :-( I think we can't get them in Germany?!!

[@LucretiaVanPelt]

Is it a fruit or a root? :)

[@silversparrow40160]

Just How do you tell if it is 'RIPE'? I bought one to try, put it in the fridge the day I got it and the very next day it was mushy and smelly!!!! Yes, my fridge Is working.

[@wsnchan88]

What is subs, ppl put in description?

[@stronguy20]

is it like asian pear? i love asian pears!!!

[@AtlasJr]

th jicama is dam good

[@babeena_gt_3645]

Dude I'm half Mexican and my abuela calls it a root fruit it is a fruit it is not a vegetable your American learn other cultures fruits okay thank you for eating our food I appreciate it you're really nice

[@santamariamarvy]

Babeena_Gt _ Its not a fruit. learn science. a fruit comes from a flower. Jicama comes from the roots. I don't fucking care where you came from. Its all over the tropics.

[@universalvindicator]

@@santamariamarvy in Philippines we also eat it as a fruit though it is scientifically a root crop.

[@GEhotpants101]

I always thought it was spelled "higima"... Shows what I know. lol It's Jicama. It's not only a "j" in the beginning, but a "c" not a "g"... XP

[@meredith051]

hmm... mine was clean, no bruising, but flesh was brown, like a bruised apple. Threw it out. So I assume you can't tell the quality till you cut into it?

[@aprilhazelett5005]

Never told us how to tell when it’s ripe....

[@bossman9335]

But hey now you know it’s a Mexican tomato, bet you didn’t know that did you

[@ummsalamah7711]

Not potato... Search Results Featured snippet from the web Jicama, also known as yambean, is a round, fleshy taproot vegetable of beanfamily plants. Its underground starchy root is one of the popular edible tuber-vegetables grown in many parts of Central American, South Asian, Caribbean, and some Andean South American regions.

[@JunkyardShots]

thumbs up if you thought this said "when is it rape?"

[@sharni888]

You should not eat chilly powder without cooking. No wonder westerners get stomach problems eating chili 😂😂👎

[@nisayn1929]

You sound like Donald trump
