True Jicama (Pachyrhizus erosus), also known as Mexican Yam Bean or Mexican Turnip, is an heirloom root vegetable native to Mexico and Central America, cultivated for centuries for its crisp, juicy, white-fleshed tuber with a mildly sweet, refreshing flavor. Best known for its apple-like crunch and versatility in both raw and cooked dishes, it grows as a vigorous climbing vine requiring full sun, moderate watering, and a long warm season to mature. With tan skin and fleshy white roots, it remains unique among legumes, as only the tuber is edible while the seeds and pods are toxic Germination in 7-14 days in warm soil, maturity in 150-180 days Collected: 6/25 Germination: 80% As always, FREE SHIPPING on all orders within the US Please, if you have any issues with your order, germination or simply need planting instructions, reach out to me and I will take care of you.
