"The good: This food is very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Potassium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber and Vitamin C."

The Best Answer
Jicama is a tuber, and though it is ~1/3 the carbs of potatoes, its still starchy. My vote would be that it's not allowed if you are strictly adhering to slow carb.
Perfectly OK... for binge day 
Or a binge meal... or in a post-workout meal window maybe?
...But baked crisp in some oil with the right seasoning, they make an awesome low(er) carb french fry alternative!

I'm going to guess that jicama would be fine. I know there was a list on this site that contained other foods that wasn't mentioned in the book. Rutabagas, Turnips & Radishes were on the list.
I'm guessing the jicama is closely related & would be fine.

Yeah i was wondering the same thing due to they "white aint right" mantra for veggies. but if theyre related to turnips and such then they are cruciferous right?
I had trouble with radishes as being too high in carbs. It stalled me when I put radishes in breakfast and salad for lunch.
It's a root veggie like a potato.
