Jicama is a tuber, which means it’s a plant that grows under ground like a potato. It is brown on the outside and white on the inside. Jicama is sweet and crunchy and goes great in salads or as a fresh snack.

Hi! I'm the kid climbing the side of the pyramid below. Can you see me running up the steps? That's because I have lots of energy from eating right and exercising. I'm here to remind YOU to eat right, exercise and have fun. The pyramid I'm climbing is the MyPyramid for Kids, it's called MyPyramid for Kids because it is just for you!

Look at the picture below.

Do you see my friends and me playing and having fun? The picture shows how much food kids our age should eat. Do you know the names of the food groups? See if you can guess.

Put your cursor on the color to see if you guessed right.

How did you do? Don’t worry if you did not guess them all. I will help you learn. Check out my friends playing. They are going to help too!
