    Shoot an email off to the BB folks. Maybe check their Facebook page.

    No help here. We did not get a basket this week and your pic is not very clear.

    Yeah...looks like Pachyrhizus erosus to me. Also known as jicama. They're really good and refreshing. Light, crisp and watery.

    Yeah. If it is jicama, peel it, slice it, eat it. Very good, light and refreshing with an almost lightly sweet taste.

    ETA: We just happened to have a jicama fresh from Safeway:
