Behind the ingredient.

Jicama:

The Jicima, or also known as the "mexican potato" or the "mexican turnip" is a tuberous root vegetable that has a slight sweet taste and texture much like a potato - sort of like a cross between an apple and a potato. The root of the plant is edible while the rest of the plant and its seeds are poisonous containing a toxin called rotenone.
