You can’t use the leaves to make any type of alcoholic spirit, only the heart is used to do so.They might be using them to make food, and that’s truly unfortunate and sad that the plants are being destroyed over greed.

When the plant flowers it dies after leaving pups so unless you use the leaves for cooking they go to waste. You can eat the flower buds as well

The agave leaves/fronds are used to make Birria. They line the fire pit and help steam the goat meat.

In Mexico the agave plants are used to make pulque. It's fermented sap from the agave piña, or heart. It tastes horrible and gets you drunk. Lol. There are extra steps after that to turn it into tequila. It's distilled and idk what else. They also use the leaves to make barbacoa in a pit.

Our neighbor in south Louisiana had a HUGE old Agave Americana (large leathery grey/blue leaves) that put up a flower stalk. It lasted a few weeks before finally drying out and falling over. It's the mother plant's last "hurrah" or "swan song" before dying. But as a legacy, the mother will generally leave a few baby offsets or "pups" which are identical and scattered around the base. 🌱

So much ignorance in this report and comments , tequila is made ONLY from tequilera agave (different breed ) and from the pine inside, it’s a huge and lengthy process the blue agave leaves are used to make barbacoa or birria (a wood fire pit covered with these )

but why the leaves? you can’t even propagate from leaf, can you? and you don’t make tequila or mezcal from the leaf … weird

The species “Agave Tequila” are the only agave’s that don’t make an extremely bitter tasting tequila. The ones shown in this video are “Agave Americana”. They aren’t called blue agaves…

A fake idea at that because the leaves are not used to make alcohol, the core is so they are not selling leaves to distilleries at all. The idea in the post is that someone was pit roasting a goat and those leaves are used for that. Leave it to the news to give false information that leads to people getting their plants butchered for no reason at all rather than say they were likely stolen to cook an ethnic meal🤦

They are stealing the leaves, not the piña that is used for tequila. My Mexican Bf says it’s Guatemalans who use the leaves for a dish on holidays. I caught guys hacking up my blue agave today.

Not from the leaves , but from the core

idk if all the ones around my place are the same plants but sometimes they have this MASSIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE tree growing right out of the middle of the plant. It's so pretty the shape and everything is so pretty. It just grows a damn tree in like a few weeks. I think one of the ones in my neighborhood hit like 22 feet. A tree. A straight up damn tree growing within weeks it seems like. I dont even get it. The bottom of the tree is like 6-7 inches THICK. lol probably bigger. It's crazy.

the leaves are not used for tequila or mezcal that’s the pina itself they must be taking them for another reason

“I tinka da mexican use this to makea da drink” 🤣🤣🤣

Anne was hilarious 😂 😃.

the agave bandit.......

From my knowledge that is no blue agave, that is “maguey”. You can’t make tequila out of Maguey but you can get a lot pulque from the core of the “pineapple”, not from the leaves; besides some people use Maguey leaves them to make Birria artesanal by burring the birria and covering it with this leaves.

Yes Anna😄

If it's not one thing it's another

LOL, soooooooo much misinfo here. Firstly, as others have mentioned, the core is the only part used for distillate production. Secondlly, the huge plants oictured are Agave Americana, and are not used for tequila production. That would be Agave tequilana 'Blue Weber' which is virtually non-existent in the botanical and landscaping trades.
