jicama

It looks much more like a peeled and shaped west african giant yam than it does any kind of jicama.

This seems unlikely, since jicama is widely eaten in India as well, and much smaller than what the images depict.

And with more standing, because pointing to an empty dedicated space is more compelling than wondering out loud to the produce worker whether the store even carries jicama or whatever the product is.

They have nice markets where I sometimes buy jicama to pickle.

When I look at the Jicama plant it doesn't even remotely look like an Agave.

(I don't doubt it can grow that large, just that I've never seen it that big.) The texture also looks off for jicama, which is more watery and can't be sliced that thin.

Added jicama recently (diced, uncooked), and in combination with sprouted legumes (cooked, or raw if just lentils), apple, cabbage, nutritional yeast, vinegar and olive oil, it was delicious.

(Bananas are the only exception for $x.99---depending on the location, they can be $0.69 or $0.79/pound---and there are a few items below the general $1.99 base price: like carrots or jicama, available for $0.99/pound.) Furthermore, they do mark items down at a times.

She'll just make a basic quinoa pilaf style, but without the sauteed onions, then add corn, spinach greens, heirloom tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, the super crunchy japanese cucumbers, some apple or jicama slices, and some blood orange (or regular orange).

Lunch - Veggie mix that I chop up all together every few days - green peppers, pasilla peppers, green onion, yellow onions, eggplant, jicama, cauliflower, and whatever other root veggies looked good at the store - turnips, rutabagas, and such things.

But none saying "oh maybe this is actually jicama".

"This looks like a giant variety of Jicama"...

This looks like a giant variety of 'Pachyrhizus erosus' or Jicama, which is also a street snack widely sold in Mexico.

You can find Jicama/(fruit) street vendors in most Mexican cities main streets or outside Mexico a mexican market is also a safe bet.

Jicama can absolutely be sliced that thin.
