Yam Bean Seeds

Grow Yam Bean Seeds (Pachyrhizus erosus), a unique root vegetable prized for its crunchy texture, mildly sweet flavour, and versatility in the kitchen. Also known as Jicama, this fast-growing vine thrives in Australian gardens, producing large, bulbous roots that are perfect for fresh salads, stir-fries, and snacking.

The white, juicy flesh of Yam Bean has a refreshing, water-rich crunch similar to a pear or water chestnut, making it a delightful addition to both raw and cooked dishes.

This tropical plant also offers attractive, lush green foliage, although the leaves, flowers, and seeds are not edible as they can be toxic. The focus remains on harvesting the delicious and nutritious root.

Growing Guide:

• Best Time to Plant: Sow in spring and summer.
• Location: Full sun in well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost.
• Spacing: Sow seeds 2-3 cm deep, spacing 30-40 cm apart, providing a trellis or support for vines.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging.
