My kids and I were eating this jicama and they asked, “Mom, since potato skin is full of nutrients and we eat it, shouldn’t we eat jicama skin, too?” I almost tasted it to see if it was good, but decided to look it up first. Good thing I did because it’s toxic – do not eat the peel. But inside is a crisp, refreshing, edible vegetable. This excellent source of fiber and vitamin C is delicious dipped into a favorite sauce like cilantro dip, or served with a sprinkle of lime juice and chili powder.

On day 19 of this 365 day project, I ate my daily five (including homemade fruit tarts that my kids crafted with hopes to someday be featured on the show, Kids’ Baking Championship). Did you enjoy yours?

Much love,

Kristen
