Juice Recipe: Jicama, Apple and Celery
One of the largest cities in the world, Mexico City is a busy place. Loud, chaotic, endless. It is hard to navigate this expanse.
The locals are used to it and survive by taking short breaks, most of them eating tasty street food.
One of them is jicama.
Cut into sticks, sold in plastic bags, fresh with spices and lime. A refreshing treat that it is easy to eat, satisfying and hydrating.
Outside Mexico, few have eaten jicama and even fewer have juiced it. This recipe is an invitation to try something new and discover why millions enjoy it every day.
A classic juice foundation is stirred up by Jicama, a root ubiquitous to Mexico and other warm weather climates but uncommon outside those areas.
The milky, refreshing and slightly chalky taste of jicama neutralizes the sour tones of the apple and the sweetness of the carrot, improving the overall palate and consistency of the juice.
Drink it fresh. Does not keep well refrigerated. Expect swift separation.
