When I was young, summer was about trips to the beach, reading book after book, watching movies on VHS (remember VHS??), and eating singkamas -- that's jicama in English.
Now that summer has begun over here I've been on the lookout for those carts that sell bunches of singkamas. And I'm a happy girl because I've been able to get my fill of these crunchy and juicy veggies everyday. I peel them and eat them raw with a little bit of salt. I eat them in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening when I come home from work. Obsessed much?
As an added bonus I found out that it has very few calories. Although I shouldn't be surprised seeing as it contains mostly water and starch.

Finally! The English translation of singkamas! I have been asking people here about that for weeks now! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I googled it and also asked on twitter. Now we know!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally new to this. This is my first time hearing about it. I wonder how it tastes.
