40. Yam Bean Pachyrhizus erosus The roots of this plant are always eaten raw but the young pods may be cooked and eaten like string beans. This vege- table is cultivated commonly in many parts of Central America, especially from Costa Rica to Salvador, and in Mexico and some parts of the West Indies. The soft-stemmed vine has white or purple flowers similar to those of beans. The small or large tuberous roots resemble turnips. They are rather watery, sweet, and refreshing in taste, and are nutritious. The yam bean plant may also be called jicama.
