  • I purchased a “Healthy 8 chopped veggie mix,” at Trader Joe’s. It contained Red & Green Cabbage, Broccoli, carrots,jicama, green bell pepper, radish, celery. It left an extremely salty taste in my mouth after eating the mix. The label stated “Sodium 25mg.” Was this amount of sodium added by the prepare-rs of the mix at Trader Joe’s or does this sodium come from its contents? I ate it raw since I’m a raw vegan. By the way, what is “Jicama?”
