Since approximately 1920, the great-great-grandmother Ponsa Uitzil started one of Yucatan's traditions, the production of pumpkin seed marzipan, which has passed down through five generations. Currently, the Poot Ucan family is responsible for preserving this tradition, and they have turned it into their source of income under the name \"Dulce Tradicional Zapotito las 3 Hermanas\" (Traditional Sweet Zapotito the 3 Sisters). Pumpkin seed marzipan, also known as \"zapotito,\" is made from pumpkin seeds that undergo a cleaning process, are mixed with standard sugar, cooked, beaten, and ground to obtain the dough used to shape the candy, either manually or with molds. The marzipan is usually shaped into fruits and vegetables, such as corn, grapes, pineapples, apples, chilli peppers, strawberries, among others, and is used to decorate the altars made in Yucatecan homes during Janal Pix\u00e1n or Day of the Dead. Although this candy is mostly consumed during this season, this family produces it all year round. They have several sales points within Tekax, and supply approximately ten stores. However, they mostly handle candy sales through orders and deliveries so that visitors to Tekax won't miss the chance to try this sweet delicacy.<\/p>
