Jicama is a crispy, flavorful vegetable that can be grown organically in your garden. While it’s not uncommon to find this vegetable in the produce department at your local grocery store, not many garden centers offer seedlings to grow this tuberous root at home. Also known as yam bean, Mexican potato, and Mexican turnip, jicama requires roughly nine months of hot weather to produce a healthy crop. Thankfully, this requirement can be managed in colder regions by starting seeds indoors before warm weather is consistent (and a greenhouse doesn’t hurt, either). Just be careful to plant your jicama in a place securely away from children and pets, as the skin, stems, seeds, and leaves are toxic—so only the vegetable’s flesh is safe to eat.However, if you’re feeling adventurous enough to try something new in the garden, jicama might just be the plant you’re looking for.
