I was on the school's wellness committee this year. April's meeting was all about nutrition. We discussed fruits, vegetables, and their nutritional value. At the end we tried a wide range of fruits and veggies. Snap peas, beets, avocado, and apricot I have all had in some way shape or form. But have you ever heard of a Jicama? I hadn't at the time but it was so delicious. It is made up of 90% water, so it was almost like a cross between an apple, watermelon, and a potato. It tasted like a fruit but it was a vegetable. It crunched like an apple or watermelon, tasted like a sweet white potato and made for an ooh la la snack. Can't wait to buy some at the store. There's a link if you want to know more. The rest were also very yummy but not much of a surprise to me
