Jicama
Hey Pokey!
Jicama is definitely a "thumb's up" for our way of eating. It is listed as a 'yam bean tuber' in Corine Netzer's Food Counts book. 1/2 cup raw=5.3 carbs. It is wonderful in salads and just raw out of hand.
If you haven't tried this:
Jicama thinly sliced, spread with cream cheese and sprinkled with Cinammon Splenda - heavenly!
I even cook Jicama in the pressure cooker with SF cider mix (Alpine), spices & a bit of Splenda and use it in my Chicken Jicama Salad - which is like a mock-Waldorf salad. So nummy!
I don't see any problem with "fake" eggs, just watch the carb count. We use them all time and they are lower in fat, about the same in protein - definitely a good thing!
Stay well!
Holly
