Jicama (Thai) Seeds Heirloom Non-GMO (50+ Seeds)

This Asian variety of jicama yields larger tubers than Mexican Jicama. It has sweet and crisp light-colored flesh, and tan to light brown skin. This larger variety can reach up to 5 or 6 inches in width, and 5 pounds in weight in warmer climates, smaller in cooler areas. The roots develop fully after flowering. Growing jicama (Thai) requires time, as a long growing season is needed to produce the tasty underground tubers that are dug in fall. Roots are edible. PLEASE NOTE: Leaves and seed pods are poisonous.
