    Jicama is really good. It is like a sweet carrot. When we lived in PA we didn’t have any Whole Food stores. Thanks for the comment and the tagged.

    I love Whole Foods as well. My son has celiac & all three of my children have food allergies. They are on special diets. So I shop Whole Foods often.
