## Description

Thai Jicama Seeds. Pachyrhizus erosus. Heirloom, Non-GMO, Open Pollinated. Annual. About 150 Days to full maturity. Also known as ‘yam bean’, and 'true jicama'. This Thai variety produces larger fruits than it's popular Mexican cousin, Mexican Jicama. This tuber has crisp, sweet white flesh, and light brown skin. With a long, hot season it can grow 4-6" diameter and 4-5 lbs in weight. More temperate climates will produce smaller roots. Tubers develop after flowering and store well. Ripe pods and leaves are poisonous. Start seeds inside 8-10 weeks before last frost date. Keep soil warm until emergence. Seeds will not germinate in cool soil. Harden off plants carefully before transplanting. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil at least 20" deep. Plant in late spring/early summer in a warm, sunny location when soil temperatures are above 70°F. Remove flower buds to promote root production. Harvest tubers 5 to 9 months after sowing and store in a dry, dark, cool environment at 50-60°F. Peel and prepare raw, marinated or cooked briefly to retain crisp texture. Use fresh in salads and veggie platters. A popular substitute for water chestnuts or bamboo shoots in any dish that calls for a crisp texture and mild flavor. Warning: Ripe pods and leaves are poisonous. About 140 Seeds per ounce.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these sweet and is this water or rice kind?**
A: This is a type of vegetable similar to potatoes. The only difference is that the jicama has a slightly sweetness to it and it has a crunch like an apple. But the skin of the jicama must be peeled and not eaten because it’s toxic. I eat the jicama raw and mix it with my salad, it taste pretty good.

**Q: is this Pachyrhizus ahipa?**
A: Pachyrrhizus erosus

**Q: How many seeds do you get in a pacakge?**
A: There are approximately 15-20 seeds per packet.
