The polcan is one of the authentic pre-Hispanic foods that persist to this day and is part of Yucatecan gastronomy. Its name comes from the Mayan word \"pool\", which means head, and \"can\", which means snake, hence the oval shape of the polcan.<\/p>

 <\/p>

Made with white corn dough, its filling is known as toksel and is mixed with white beans called ibes, ground pumpkin seed, epazote, cilantro, onion, and habanero chilli. Tradition dictates that a piece of stone, known as \"tok\", should be used in the final part of its cooking. This is the native ingredient to give it the best flavour.<\/p>
