AGAVE plant's many uses!

[FallofftheMap]

Cool. I’m researching all I can about agave because they are everywhere here in Ecuador. Giving myself a crash course in the local plants and there uses as I set up my homestead. Glad I found your channel.

That sap is no joke. I have a rash for over a week now. It burns like sunburn for days.

[LatoriaMartin]

Yeah I'm thinking to just use the yucca for fiber and you confirmed for me bc the agave had me itching like crazy and the only way it stopped was I put baking soda and water on my face

Having a garden full of agaves and yuccas... I am a bit blown away atm😮

[DownHavenEnt]

guy in blue: ok yes this is interesting and all but I only asked if you wanted some M&M's bro...

I have one in my garden, i enjoy eating it's pulp.

I just made rope from this plant for the first time a couple days ago, and it sure did irritate the skin LOL I had to learn the hard way LOL😂

[luisccontreras]

No, no the tequilla has another process to make it ... from agave you can get aguamiel, pulque, quiote, fiber an also you can eat flowers from quiote (the shut) and chunks of quiote for boiling and fray that is a good food like nopales. The hard part of quiote can be cooked and eating like sugar Cain (it is very sweet and juicy)

Oh my god, what a great agave! Super! I have not seen one!

I have come across a few people who actually mispronounce yuca/yucca. I don't blame them, they don't know but this is actually a spanish word. Grew up in florida my whole life where there is the most diverse hispanic origins in the whole united states so you can be sure it is accurate. Everyone pronounces it as YOU-Ka. That's what I've known my whole life. We don't have just mexicans here but also cubans, colombians, Columbians, puerto Ricans, dominicans, etc. Just a fun knowledge fact for everyone 😊

Thanks! I'm going to use this in my Spanish class for a question!

[jaysilverheals]

is that the agave the indians would roast for several days and where is the pineapple part they did that with--above ground--or hidden down in the leaves if you cut them off. ? The agave roasting pits the indians used I would like to see what it looks like what they roasted but i can never find it.

during and after filming this you start to realize you have severe itching and burning sensation because Calcium Oxalates crystals on Agave penetrated your skin with toxic reactions.. ''never touched Agave again'' :)

[OGxsixela]

Crazy how if you google it it says the agave and aloe plant are unrelated wow

[rbookoo]

can the agave be used for soap? Looking for directions on how to process agave leaves for soap. thanks

[OGxsixela]

Ok 👍🏾 kind of pissed cuz I specifically wanted to see what was inside the leaf and it was like you beat around the bush very closely and never answered that question LOL. Almost like you were purposely teasing me hahah

[kaikai]

Agave is high in fructose, 90 percent and 10 percent glucose. The liver is the only organ that can metabolize Agave -- fructose and this puts a strain on the liver, this was what I heard from another source. I'm confuse as if I shoukd eat it or not . Great video by the way.

[VondaInWonderland]

I was thinking that I really wanted an agave plant, but I don't like itching ♥

[jasunsandiego]

Quick video. Must have been all his hands can take before needing a wash and some soap. I did a job today removed a handful of these blue agave. Arms were burning like hell. Felt like fire ants eating my skin while I worked for half the day. Chicken pocks ×20 its intense for about 30 mins at a time.

[Dzloof]

Is the plant poisonous to chickens when they eat it?
