Thai Jicama Root Seeds

Thai Jicama Root Seeds - Heirloom Vegetable Garden Seeds
Pachyrhizus erosus
Listing is for 1 packet of 10 seeds

Jicama also known as True Jicama, Yam Bean, or Man Kaeo in Thai, is a crisp, sweet root vegetable perfect for adding to salads, stir-fries, and snacks. This Thai variety produces larger tubers than traditional Mexican Jicama, with roots reaching up to 5-6 inches in width and up to 5 pounds in warmer climates. The light-colored flesh is juicy and crunchy, with tan to light brown skin. An annual, open-pollinated plant, Jicama takes around 150 days to mature, with the roots developing fully after flowering. Please note: only the roots are edible, as the leaves and seed pods are poisonous.

PLANTING
Germination: 15-20 days

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/4” deep

Sowing: Jicama thrives in sandy, loamy, well-drained soil and warm temperatures. Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost in temperate climates, then transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Keep the soil moist and fertilize as needed. For optimal growth, maintain temperatures in the 70s or warmer, as the plant is not frost-tolerant. To encourage larger roots, trim off flowers as they appear.

Days to maturity: 120 days
