Alright /ck/ which of you motherfuckers knows the true majesty that is jicama?
A lot of you probably saw it in the supermarket and didn't know what it was and it didn't look interesting so you ignored it and YOU FUCKED UP.
This shit is tasty as fuck, it's cheap as fuck, and its healthy as fuck. "B-b-but I don't know how to pronounce or cook it". Well I'm gonna tell you all about that. It is Mexican in origin so the "J" is pronounced as an "H". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWi4x0LuO1E
To prepare it is the simplest thing in the world. You peel of the skin and cut it however you like and that's it. This shit tastes great FUCKING RAW. It is slightly sweet yet crispy and juicy. Like if an apple got tired of being a shitty tree fruit and grew the fuck up into a glorious tuber. You can just slice it up and eat it like that or you can toss that bitch in a salad. It can also stand up to some light cooking while retaining its crispness so you can also use it in a stirfry.
Next time you are grocery shopping and you come across a jicama you damn well better get one.
its pretty nice if you cut it into sticks and eat hummus or peanut butter with it.

What can I cook with it?
>>8909027
We simply call it turnip here easier to pronounce.

Why do you talk like this? Does it make you feel BADASS? It just makes you look like an edgelord faggot.

Can they be cut into fries and double fried like a potatoe or would they not hold up?

Jicama is by far one of my favorite vegetables. It's so goddamn versatile, I use it in so many dishes. And, it's awesome just as a snack, sprinkled with a little salt and lemon or lime. I don't know why more people haven't jumped on that yet.

Yeah, you can fry jicama. They're nice and starchy, but they can be pretty juicy, so you need to make sure you pat them nice and dry before frying. I like them batter fried, personally, like you would fried zucchini or mushrooms, or tossed with seasoned flour, like for seasoned fries.

So, since Mexican cuisine relies a lot on lime juice, all Mexicans are hipster normies?
Leave your house once in a while you goddamn idiot
Jicama rules, best snack food ever.
I like to drizzle thick cuts in vinegar and lemon juice.
