Chapter 890_1

Jicama is another name for Sha Gua; they are one and the same. Villagers tend to call it Jicama."

Jingrui managed to resist the urge to scratch his ears, "How much can each acre of this Jicama yield?"

Jingrui couldn't possibly imagine that there could be a crop other than sweet potatoes, like Sha Gua, that could yield thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds per acre. This is definitely a blessing for the impoverished.

Today, although the grain yield has increased, there are still people who cannot afford enough grains to eat. Those people rely on sweet potatoes to curb their hunger. Although sweet potatoes yield a lot, they cannot be eaten on an empty stomach because they cause heartburn.

Consuming sweet potatoes on a regular basis can often result in burping.

Now that Jicama can also yield tens of thousands of pounds per acre, those who only have wastelands can also plant some Jicama to eat.
