PCOS and Jicama (Mexican Turnip): A Nutritious Addition to Your Diet
Discover how jicama, a low-glycemic root vegetable, can benefit women with PCOS. Learn about its nutritional value and delicious ways to incorporate it into your diet.
This recipe includes superfoods such as:
Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.
Garnish: Candied Lemon and Orange Peels
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 orange and/or lemon, peels removed and reserved
Splash triple sec
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Splash of water
4 dashes bitters (recommended: Angostura)
Maraschino cherry
2 ounces (1/4 cup) bourbon whiskey
Ice
Special equipment: Old-fashioned glass
For the garnish:In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine 1 cup water with 1/2 cup sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil. Using a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature, continue boiling until 230 degrees F. Add the orange and/or lemon peels along with a splash triple sec. Lower temperature to medium heat. Turn the peels occasionally, until the liquid is reduced to a thin syrup, about 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the syrup is thick and the slices are tender but still intact, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Transfer the orange or lemon peels to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet to cool. Mix sugar, water, and bitters in an old-fashioned glass. Drop in the cherry and a candied orange and lemon peel. Muddle into a paste using a muddler or the back end of a spoon. Pour in the bourbon, fill with ice cubes, and stir. Garnish with additional orange or lemon peel.
