Agave angustifolia is a succulent plant native to the arid regions of Mexico and Central America. It features long, narrow leaves that can grow up to 1 meter in length, with sharp spines along the edges. This plant is well-adapted to dry environments, storing water in its thick leaves. The plant is commonly used to produce mezcal, a traditional alcoholic beverage made from the heart of the agave. Additionally, Agave angustifolia is valued for its fibers, which can be used to make ropes and textiles. Its striking appearance also makes it a popular choice for ornamental gardening.
