Description
Sow True Jicama Seeds for a bountiful harvest of this unique and delicious root vegetable!
Jicama, also known as the yam bean, is popular in Asian and Mexican cuisine.
It resembles a turnip or potato in shape, but has a delicate, crisp texture and sweet flavor.
Jicama is an excellent source of fiber and Vitamin C.
Plant jicama in full sun in rich, well-drained soil.
True Jicama, called Mexican yam bean, or Mexican turnip, is a globe-shaped root vegetable with papery, golden-brown skin and a starchy white interior.
It looks white from the inside and tastes a bit like an apple, but not quite as sweet. The legumes it produces usually aren’t removed from the stem to encourage tuber growth.
In Central America, jicama is often bought from street vendors and sometimes eaten raw, along with lemon juice and chili powder.

My seeds arrived and I soaked them overnight to start the germination process. It will be 3-4 months before I know if they took or not, but wanted to say the seeds were excellent quality and arrived as stated-on time!

Came really fast and well packaged. I’ve planted some but still have to wait a few more days before germination. I’ve bought from this shop before and so far all seeds have had high germination rates

I made a large purchase of seeds from this shop for my garden this year. I am reviewing at this point on shipping and service alone. I will do an update post of germination and harvest(hopefully) later! First of all i have to give credit where it is due I ordered 35 items and they didn’t miss a single item on my order all in perfect quantity! Second their is clearly more seeds and onions in bundles than indicated so they dont skimp you out!! Third they gave me 10 free gifts none of them the same of what I ordered. So I get to experiment on some extra seeds and plants that I had been eyeing but didn’t want to commit to, I’m excited to try out some bean plants and sunflowers just to name a few of the free gifts. I will be back again no doubt for my garden seed orders!!
