Jicama, Diced & Sticks: Crisp, Sweet, Ready to Snack

The crunchy root vegetable, already peeled and cut.

CRISP, CLEAN, READY TO GO

Jicama, Crunch Without the Peeling

Jicama is prized for its crisp, juicy texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor, popular sliced into sticks for snacking with chile and lime, or diced into salads and slaws. Peeled and cut, it’s ready to serve without the work of prepping the tough outer skin. At Latin Specialties, we cut and pack our jicama for freshness and food-safety from prep to plate.

Crisp, sweet, and ready to snack—jicama makes crunch effortless.

Jicama con Limón y Chile (Jicama Sticks with Lime & Chile)

Mexico's easiest and most refreshing botana: cold, crunchy jicama sticks with lime, salt and chile powder.

Serves4
Prep10 min
Chill10 min

Ingredients

1 medium Latin Specialties Jicama (about 1 lb), peeled and cut into sticks, or 4 cups pre-cut sticks
Juice of 3 Latin Specialties Limes, plus wedges to serve
1 tsp fine salt
2 tsp ground dried chile or chile-lime seasoning, to taste
Bottled Mexican-style hot sauce, optional

Method

Peel the jicama with a sharp knife, removing all of the thin brown skin and the fibrous layer just under it. Cut into sticks about 3 inches long and ½ inch thick.
Arrange on a platter or in a bowl, cover and chill for 10 minutes.
Just before serving, squeeze the lime juice over the sticks and sprinkle with the salt and chile powder. Add a drizzle of hot sauce if you like.
Toss gently and serve cold with extra lime wedges.

TipSeason at the last minute: salt and lime draw water out of the jicama, and it stays crisp and juicy when served right away.

Serves6
Prep20 min
Rest10 min

Ingredients

1 medium Latin Specialties Jicama (about 1 lb), peeled and thinly sliced
2 small Latin Specialties Cucumbers, cut into half-moons
3 seedless oranges, peeled with all the white pith removed and sliced
Juice of 2 Latin Specialties Limes
½ tsp salt
About 2 tsp powdered dried chile (ancho or guajillo)
2 tbsp chopped Latin Specialties Cilantro, optional

Method

Cut the jicama into thin rounds or half-rounds and the cucumbers into half-moons. Slice the peeled oranges into rounds and then into halves.
Arrange the jicama, cucumber and orange in overlapping layers on a large platter.

Let it rest for 10 minutes so the flavors mingle, then serve cold.

TipUse a mild ground chile like ancho for color and gentle warmth, and add more only at the table.
