Enjoy the crunch and sweet juiciness of jicama, because it is a dieter’s choice, with only 41 calories for each 4-ounce/115-gram serving. It is high in dietary fiber and is a good source of vitamin C and potassium. These tubers store the carbohydrate inulin instead of starch, which contributes to its sweet flavor. (See for more information on inulin.)
