Hey Umpa,  I had never heard of Jicama until the FTS book.  Where is the best place to buy it?  Can you eat it raw like carrots?
Thanks and have a great day!

California seems to have an abundance of jicama... nearly every grocery store, farmers market and health food store has it.  We have a large Hispanic community.  To get the freshest jicama I go to the farmers markets... crisp, white as snow and sweet!  Love it raw and cubed in salads.
