di ko alam, lason daw ang singkamas

“Itâ€™s only in the root that jicama is edible as the rest of the plant is very poisonous – its seeds contain the toxin rotenone”

This is one of my favorites, too. Like many (fellow Ilocanos) here say, it is an ingredient in dinengdeng. In my house, we usually pound the pods a bit to break the thick skin because they can be a little tough, especially the more mature ones. From my experience, it is a very good source of fiber, a laxative. So don’t eat too much. :-)
