Jicama is a root vegetable that is low in calories and high in fiber and water. It is slightly sweet, like a cross between an apple, water chestnut and pear. You can eat it raw like a carrot (good with dip), or in a salad like this one.
Celery root (Celeriac) has a sweeter, milder taste than celery stalks and has less carbs than potatoes. You can grate it into a salad, cube it and use in a soup or stew recipe or cook it with potatoes and mash together which is one of my favourite ways to use it.
