Can guinea pigs eat jicama?

Based on my research, jicama is high in vitamin C, which guinea pigs need, and low in calcium, which is something that guinea pigs do not need. Therefore, if the guinea pig will eat it, it should be fine. ***Please note***- I am not a vet nor do I work with animals. My answer is based on what I know about guinea pig treats, that they should be high in vitamin C and low in calcium, and the research I did on the nutritional value of jicama.
