/Sounds like "HEE" (as in "he") + "kah" (as in "car") + "mah" (as in "mark")/
A crunchy, mildly sweet tuber native to Mexico, eaten as a street snack with lime juice and chili powder. In markets and street stalls across Mexico and Guatemala you will find it pre-cut and seasoned, ready to eat as a fresh and filling afternoon snack.
“Jícama with lime and chili powder is the perfect afternoon snack at any market.”
“Grab a jícama to take as a snack to work, it is light and goes a long way.”
