Native Texas Plant.
Flowers of the plant are cooked, along with the stalks which need to be roasted. The sap can be fermented and distilled to make Tequila.
Dangers: Raw agave juice can cause long-lasting burns to skin, eyes, and other sensitive tissues. Be careful when cutting this plant so as not to splatter this juice on you. These plants also contain large quantities of saponins (soap).
