What is an Agave?
Agaves are hardy, spiky plants that thrive in dry climates and store water in their thick leaves. They grow in a rosette shape and can take years—even decades—to bloom, sending up a tall flower stalk before completing their life cycle. Besides their striking appearance, agaves are also useful, providing materials for fiber, sweeteners, and even spirits like tequila and mezcal.
