I absolutely love these delicious Jicama Chili Fries. Jicama (pronounced \ˈhē-kə-mə\ is a a pale brown turnip with a crisp sweet taste. It is the tuberous root of a tropical American vine (Pachyrhizus erosus) of the legume family that is eaten raw or cooked. The Jicama originated in Mexico. You can find jicamas in most stores. I only used one jicama to produce this big bowl of fries! Jicama health benefits are numerous! It is low in calories and an excellent source of fiber, potassium, iron, calcium, and vitamins C and E. In fact, 1 cup of jicama contains nearly 6 grams of fiber. Jicama helps keep your cholesterol levels under control and may help protect against heart disease. Eating jicama also helps boost your immune system, promote healthy bones, and protect you against colds and flu - all great reasons for enjoying jicama. You will love these!
