How It's Made | TEQUILA
Agave tequilana, commonly known as blue agave or tequila agave, holds significant economic importance in Jalisco, Mexico, as it serves as the primary raw material for tequila, a widely consumed distilled beverage. The key feature that renders it suitable for alcoholic beverage production is its high concentration of sugars, primarily agavins, mainly composed of fructose, found in the core of the plant.
