Maguey (Century plant) & aguamiel
rodneys
12 years ago
I watched "Extreme Cuisine w/Jeff Corwin" last night & it had a segment on Maguey aka Agave americana aka Century plant & the nectar inside it, aguamiel. I've checked online & I've read it takes around 10 years to mature. Then when it starts to flower, the flower is cut and the plant starts to make aguamiel in the center, as much as 3 liters a day.
Can anyone share their experience with the plant & possibly can supply suckers?
