What Is It?
Jicama, also known as yam bean, Mexican yam, shankalu, kesaur, or mishrikand, is a root vegetable, often called a “tuber.” Unlike most, this tuber isn’t very starchy and, instead, consists mostly of prebiotic fiber, minerals, vitamins, loads of water and tastes like a cross between a sweet potato and an apple.
Where Does it Come from?
This ancient Latin superfood originally called Mexico home and was introduced to India nearly 500 years ago. It’s been beloved in Mexican and Indian cultures for centuries before it eventually made its way around the globe. Jicama loves tropical environments and chilly (not freezing!) evening temperatures, making it a winter crop in these warm climates.

How are they processed?
Once harvested, their tough exterior shell is removed (like you would a coconut or peel a potato), and the inner “meat” is pressed and juiced to extract the liquid.

What Does Prebiotic Really Mean?
We’re glad you asked. Inside your gut are two key players: probiotics and prebiotics.
Probiotics
These are the helpful bacteria that live inside your gut, diligently working to break down and digest what you put in your belly.
Prebiotics
Prebiotics are the food that fuels the probiotics. When your probiotics are well-fed with healthy prebiotics, they perform their digestive duties at maximum efficiency.
Here’s why that matters: your gut isn’t just a digestive hub; it’s the command center for your whole body and it’s intricately linked to your immune system, mental health, and virtually every other bodily function. So when you prioritize your gut health, it sets off a ripple effect of positive change, benefiting your entire well-being.
