So I accidentally watched Dr. Oz today (his audience would kill for him, I can see it in their eyes), and in his listing of superfoods, the jimica came up. Now maybe it’s popular elsewhere, but I am a prairie girl and it just looked like a pale turnip to me; I was confused when the audience volunteer announced that the little raw bit she tried was crisp and sweet!
Anyway, I’m buying one of these funny little veggies tomorrow and plan to cut it up into my salad. Dr. Oz thinks I’m gonna love it. I’ll let you know.
