Jìcama , the Mexican Turnip



The word jìcama refers to the edible tuberous root of a native Mexican vine, it has a crispy texture, a unique subtle sweet flavor and it's composed of 85% water, all this make it ideal to be eaten raw; like Mexicans have done for centuries.

If you visit the city of Morelia; in the state of Michoacàn, you will see this refreshing fruit salad being sold by street vendors almost on every corner.
MEZQUITE's version consists of jìcama, cucumber, mango, pineapple, orange & lime juice, a dash of vinegar and it's topped with ground chile pasilla and queso cotija.
