Here is the info I located.....
It is listed for phase 1 on SB food lists under veggies. So you can eat as portions size for a veggie.
Nutritionally, a cup of sliced raw jicama (about 4-1/2 ounces or 130 grams) has no fat, no cholesterol, few calories, little protein, yet meaningful amounts of vitamin C, fiber, and potassium. Specifically, the numbers work out this way:
50 calories
1 g protein
6 mg sodium
12 g carbohydrates
195 mg potassium
2 g dietary fiber
16 mg calcium
23 mg phosphorus
26 mg vitamin C
and trace amounts of iron, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and vitamin A.
