Fresh Jicama, Each

I buy Jicama often and find in most cases it is fresh, flavorful and crisp with minimal brown spots as other reviewers have mentioned. Occasionally I’ll get one that is mottled with brown spots to the point that I have to toss the entire jicama. But what I object most to is the heavy wax coating that is applied. I suppose it has to do with keeping it fresh but for me it has the opposite effect. I suspect the wax traps any bacteria present on the jicama which may be the contributing factor why I sometimes see blue form under the wax. The wax also makes the jicama harder to cut off the peel.and my knife gets full of hard to wash off wax.

Too much wax coating, the inside of the jicama was old and dry and it went bad pretty quickly, even though the outside was fresh looking due to all the wax on it

Anyone can usually tell if produce is bad by the smell and look. This jicama smells like something died inside the bag with it and has stuff growing on it too.

The two Jicama I purchased looked perfectly fine from the outside but were rotten on the inside. One was 100% rotten and the other one was starting to rot. Had to throw them out. Disappointing

As I cut into the JICAMA the smell was unbearable! I examined the cut piece and it smelled so moldy! Dripping with milky, musty smelling fermented liquid oozing out! I had to wash my hands 3 times! This JICAMA was hard as a rock! The texture should be like a potato or unrippened pear flesh. WALMART YOU NEED TO HIRE PRODUCE MGRS THAT KNOW WHAT REALLY GOOD PRODUCE SHOULD LOOK %26 TASTE!! FRESH FOOD HAS BEEN BAD!!! NOT BEING EXAMINED BY SHOPPERS FOR ONLINE CUSTOMERS. WHY DO ONLINE CUSTOMERS GET OLD, DAMAGED, MOLDY SPOILED FOOD?

This is now the second time that I have bought this product. I'm not sure what is going on, but the amount of wax is so unnecessary. So much wax that I soaked the Jicama in a special fruit/vegetable soap and the wax still didn't come off! then I tried to run hot water on it to see if it will melt off and that wouldn't even work. Finally, I started to scrape off the wax with a pairing knife, finally cut into it in the wax had seeped through! so all of this wax was inside.. and looking at the reviews. I'm not the only one. thankfully they took the other.jicama back and gave me a refund

Two different times I ordered jicama and both times I got rutabagas. Not even in the same food family. I was very disappointed as jicama would have been a late night snack by cutting it into sticks and there is hardly any calories and plenty of fiber. Rutabaga you peel, cube and cook before eating.

Completely rotten in the inside

it was rotten. last time, two orders back i bought 2 and one was bad too.

Dense, woody, flavorless, like trying to chew a burlap potato sack. It has small brown marks throughout the meat, which wouldn’t be a deal breaker on its own. This may be old, can’t tell by sight because of the heavy wax coating, and it does not live up to the importer’s description.
