About Bengkuang
Bengkuang, also known as jicama or Mexican turnip, is a crisp, tuberous root vegetable native to Central and South America but widely enjoyed in Southeast Asian cuisines. Its slightly sweet, nutty flavor and juicy texture make it a refreshing addition to salads, spring rolls, and fruit platters. Rich in dietary fiber, Vitamin C, and antioxidants, Bengkuang is both hydrating and low in calories, making it a great choice for promoting digestion and supporting the immune system. Its high water content also helps with hydration. Despite its natural sweetness, it has a low glycemic index, making it suitable for blood sugar regulation. While the root is highly nutritious, caution should be taken as its seeds and leaves contain toxins and should not be consumed. Whether eaten raw or slightly cooked, Bengkuang provides a refreshing crunch and a multitude of health benefits.
