Jicama : Pachyrhizus erosus : California : 15DEC14 : AK-43 : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (2). Jicama, Mexican Yam, Mexican Turnip, Pachyrhizus erosus from a store in Sacramento. nice this reminds me of some tidbits.. May be called mexican turnip by anglos in the past long gone... now its only jicama... .. natives of the region only call it jicama... even when they come to live in usais lighter in color texture and mouth feel than turnip... its pleasant not like turnip with the sulfur like taste.. eaten raw in both places.. in mexico even on the streets ,,,vendors cut them up and sprinkle salt, red pepper powder and lime juice.. and even classier restuarants serve them in fancy plates and elaborate accompaniments but essentially the same way.. in bengal no vendor does it.. no restaurant serves it. you buy it whole and bring it home. but we do use them at home esp during Saraswati puja as one fruit substitute, kids relish them.Root Vegetable For ID : California : 14DEC14 : AK-42 : 9 posts by 4 authors.
