Can my dog eat Ahipa?

Ahipa, also known as Jicama/yam bean/Andean yam bean, is a member of the Fabaceae family (also known as the legume, bean or pea family). The plant was first grown in South America, and later spread to the rest of Latin America and is commonly used in those cultures, as well as in North America. The only part of the plant used for food is the root, or tuber.

Can my dog eat ahipa/jicama? What about puppies? Can my puppy eat jicama? If your dog ate jicama, he would gain some important nutritional benefits such as fiber, potassium, iron and magnesium. Dogs and puppies can safely eat the cooked legume, but you must be sure to completely remove the skin and seeds. These and the plant itself are poisonous to dogs, but the tuber is safe for your fur baby to eat.

Just the tubers? Well, I may not have done much research about this plant but I never would have guessed that all we need from it are just the tubers.

This is some saving knowledge here. Showing the foods that are safe for our dogs and many that aren’t. It’s sad that many people think that dogs can eat just anything, they actually can’t.

The ahipa or jicama is very healthy for dogs with lots of nutritional benefits their body would really like. But just like every other thing, it’s best if served in moderation.

Yes, very important to serve in moderation. The first time I served the cooked legume without the skin and seeds, my dog instantly loved it and because I eat it regularly myself, it would come to me wanting more all the time. It took a while before I realized that it was the reason why he was having regular stomach issues. So it’s really best served in moderation.
