Hi Beebs, I figured the carb counts by measurement not weight. You'll need to look in your carb counter book and get the per cup count then weigh it...let us know the results

I read 1.1 per ounce Beebs. Not counting the fiber it's very high in a jicama. One of those magic veggies that wont mess with my BG much.

Beebs, I'm sorry I should have left the fiber out, it wasn't really part of the equation.
