Unique: Giant jicama found in Nghe An

(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of December 11, Mr. Vi Van Thuyen in Huoi Dua - Thong Thu village (Que Phong) dug up a giant bean root while working in the fields.

The jicama that Mr. Vi Van Thuyen dug up weighed 16kg.

The jicama that Mr. Vi Van Thuyen dug up weighed 16kg. It is known that his family planted the jicama garden more than a year ago. Not long ago, when harvesting other jicama, they only weighed around 100g, so it is not clear why this jicama is "so terrible". This can be considered the biggest jicama in Nghe An so far.

After digging, Mr. Thuyen's family cut it up and ate it on the spot.

When digging it up, it was cracked and thought it had no value so the family split it open and ate it on the spot.

Jicama, also known as water cassava, has a sweet taste and cool properties. 80 - 90% of jicama is water, the rest contains nutrients such as: starch, glucose, vitamins, iron, calcium, phosphorus... which are essential for the body.

According to research, cassava has the effect of strengthening the immune system, supporting the cardiovascular system, good for the digestive system, beautifying the skin, and good for pregnant mothers./.
