Jicama

Jicama is a crisp, slightly sweet root vegetable commonly used in Mexican and other Latin American cuisines, often eaten raw in salads, salsas or as a crunchy snack. It is notable for being a good source of fiber — 4.9g per 100g — which helps contribute to its refreshing crunch and low energy density. Nutritionally, Jicama is very low in calories and fat while providing both fiber and vitamin C, making it a hydrating, nutrient-light choice to add volume to meals. The fiber in jicama is largely fermentable (prebiotic), which can support gut bacteria and help with fullness. Overall, Jicama is a healthful, versatile vegetable: it lends bulk and crunch without many calories, supports satiety and gut health, and adds a vitamin C boost when eaten raw.
