About Bengkoang
Bengkoang, also known as jicama or Mexican turnip, is a crisp, sweet root vegetable native to Central America and widely used in Southeast Asian cuisines. It has a light brown skin and crunchy white flesh that can be eaten raw or cooked. Bengkoang is low in calories and high in water content, making it a refreshing, hydrating snack. Rich in dietary fiber, it supports digestion and promotes gut health. It also contains vitamin C, which boosts immunity and acts as a powerful antioxidant. While naturally sweet, it has a low glycemic index, making it suitable for blood sugar regulation. Bengkoang is often enjoyed in salads, fruit platters, or savory dishes, adding a refreshing crunch without overwhelming the flavor profile. However, only the edible tuber should be used, as other parts of the plant can be toxic if consumed.
