Description: 20 SEEDS Jicama | Singkamas | Yam Bean | NON-GMO * Maturity: Approx. 150 days * Planting season: Early summer | Late spring Culinary tips: Peel and prepare raw, marinated or cooked briefly to retain crisp texture. Use fresh in salads and veggie platters. A popular substitute for water chestnuts or bamboo shoots in any dish that calls for a crisp texture and mild flavor. Also known as ‘yam bean’, this tuber has crisp, sweet white flesh, and light brown skin. With a long, hot season it can grow 4-6" diameter and 4-5 lbs in weight. More temperate climates will produce smaller roots. Tubers develop after flowering and store well. Ripe pods and leaves are poisonous. Cultivation: Start seeds inside 8-10 weeks before last frost date. Keep soil warm until emergence. Seeds will not germinate in cool soil. Harden off plants carefully before transplanting. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil at least 20" deep. Plant in late spring/early summer in a warm, sunny location when soil temperatures are above 70°F. Remove flower buds to promote root production. Harvest tubers 5 to 9 months after sowing and store in a dry, dark, cool environment at 50-60°F. ‼️ Planting instruction is in every seed packet but please take the time to do your own research online about the vegetable you wish to plant in your area. ‼️Tracking number will be provided. 📍PLEASE NOTE: Many factors influence the performance of the seed such as temperature, light, water, weather, storage and the skill of the grower that are out of my control.
