Very commonly sold in California as Jicama. Here are two colours I photographed this year Yes Sir, I have seen … upload too. wow Didi, people say that these seeds are poisonous, root tubers are now selling at Rs.10 to 20 a kg,, as you may know would be in demand until Saraswati Puja. Seems to be Pachyrhizus erosus we serve it as one of the prasad at Saraswati puja in Bengal crunchy semi sweet carb, i guess is the reason Interesting information … I wonder what it tastes like… its available in markets right now    Hooghly Today : Pachyrhizus erosus (Linnaeus) Urban: In Bengali, it is known as shankhalu, literally translating to “conch (shankha) potato (alu)” for its shape, size and colour. In Hindi it is known as mishrikand (मिश्रीकंद). In Telugu it is known as kandha. It is eaten during fast (उपवास) in Bihar (India). … In Malay it is known by the name ubi sengkuang. (Ref. Wikipedia)

Jicama, Mexican Yam, Mexican Turnip, Pachyrhizus erosus from a store in Sacramento. nice. this reminds me of some tidbits.. in mexico even on the streets ,,,vendors cut them up and sprinkle salt, red pepper powder and lime juice.. and even classier restuarants serve them in fancy plates and elaborate accompaniments but essentially the same way..
in bengal no vendor does it.. no restaurant serves it.
you buy it whole and bring it home.
but we do use them at home esp during Saraswati puja as one fruit substitute, kids relish them.    Root Vegetable For ID : California : 14DEC14 : AK-42 : 9 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (3)
Root vegetable seen at the Farmers Market in Fremont. and this interesting one… turnips look very similar to yours and he writes well Looks like a swede or a rutabaga to me. Jicamas are more rounded. I remember seeing these in Europe and was told these were rutabagas. esp … A couple of years ago you wrote about Jicama in economic times ..
nice to know you.
== these here seem to be turnips and … other thread seem to be the jicama of the grocery stores.. otherwise one of us has to go to sanfransisco and and taste taste them!! delightful prospect.. I had found a link suggesting Jicama and looking exactly like my pictures.

Photos of Musa textilis and Pachyrhizus erosus: I am supervising an undergraduate research project centered in the expedition that David Fairchild made to Mesoamerica in 1944. During this trip he encountered and made photos of Pachyrhizus erosus and Musa textilis that we are part of this project. We are writing a paper focused on his findings and would like to know if there are efloraindia member could kindly share with us high-resolution photos of these species to be pubished in a manuscript that we are submitting to Huntia. We will give full credit to the authors of this photo in the final paper.
