10 genotypes xoconostle states of Hidalgo and Zacatecas, in order to perform a characterization to enhance cultivation, use and trade were evaluated. Most fruits xoconostle evaluated showed an irregular peel or skin color, density medium areolas, glochids number of low to medium and yellow, the greater length to diameter ratio was observed in xoconostle ' Borrego ' shorter peduncle and longer equatorial ( fruit diameter ) in xoconostles ' Cambray ' and' Manzano ', few seeds in ' Meek ' and' Cherry ', a higher percentage of mesocarp (pulp) and lower percentage of pericarp ( husk) at' Borrego ' and the fruits of Xoconostle ' Virgin ' and' Cambray 'showed the lowest percentage of endocarp. When the fruit harvest, harvest index taking as minor depression scar receptacle, the fruits reached their optimum ripening. In recent years, increased industrialization xoconostle based products, which is important for its preservation and continuation of studies to help better understand the potential benefits xoconostle the various components of the human diet.
