Thanks,

Hmmm...Interesting. I would think it might be high in sugar from the taste, but I couldn't find it any of the glycemic indexes I tried. Maybe someone else will be able to find it?

Thanks. The sugars are low...jicama can't have trans fats, can it? Where are the carbs coming from, I wonder? Is it considered to be tropical, like coconut?
