Question Confused about the Jicama carb count, cana anyone clear it up for me??

Hi again! I bought some jicama yesterday, and was so proud when I brought it home. I plan on making a faux cream of wheat, which I used to love pre-LC. I looked up the stats of this veggie. The carb counter here has two different versions. One raw and one boiled. The one that is boiled has no fiber carbs in it. Am I to understand that if you boil the jicama, you boil out the fiber??? Someone please let me know!

Thanks
Rachel

Fiber doesn't cook out so go with the raw count.

Thanks Karen. Know it sounded like oa stupid question, but when I rely a lot on the carb counter here. So, when I saw the different carb counts for boiled and raw, got me concerned. I didn't think you could boil out fiber, but I am but a layman when it comes to cooking. Still trying to earn my stars...LOL.

Thanks again.
Rachel
