Jicama is used like water chestnuts in recipes.  You can replace it with water chestnuts if you cannot find jicama at your local market.
Jicama is a Mexican tuber or turnip. To prepare for use, remove the peel, including the fibrous flesh directly under the skin. Cut or slice and serve raw or use in place of water chestnuts in recipes.

Once pound jicama yields about three cups chopped or shredded jicama for recipes.
