Agave

Agave is a versatile plant native to Mexico and warm regions of the Americas, known for its rosette of thick, succulent leaves. It stores water in its leaves, allowing it to thrive in arid environments. Agave is used for various purposes: producing sweeteners like agave syrup, making alcoholic beverages such as tequila and mezcal from its heart (called the piña), and as an ornamental plant in landscaping. Its striking appearance and adaptability make it both functional and decorative, contributing to food, drink, and design industries.
