Jicama cooked and boiled with salt is a somewhat different experience than raw jicama, which is prized for its crunch. Cooking softens the texture while preserving the mild, slightly sweet flavor. The carbohydrate content is moderate, and the USDA data shows no meaningful fiber in this form - unusual given how fibrous raw jicama is, possibly reflecting the boiled and drained preparation. Very low in fat and protein. More commonly eaten raw in Mexican cuisine, sliced into sticks with lime and chili.
