Draft:Xcatic

The xcatic pepper (also spelled x'catic, xcat'ic or xcatik) is a variety of Capsicum annuum primarily grown in Mexico, in the Yucatan Peninsula.[1] It is a long, pale yellow-to-orange pepper of moderate sweetness, often used in local dishes but rarely found outside the area.

Xcatic peppers are often used to make soups and cream sauces; they are often also roasted for traditional recipes such as pollo pibil, pavo en escabeche, and pescado en tikin xi. [2] "Macum de mero", or grouper marinade, includes xcatic chile here. [3]

Cultivation

Xcatic chile has fruit of about 15.22 cm in length, diameter of 23.28 mm and with an elongated conical shape and thicker pericarp than comparable sweet chiles and related Bobo chili. Xcatic is also somewhat high in potassium, phosphorus and magnesium, as well as phenols. [4]
