gabardinas, hamacas, y tapetes. El famoso tequila de Jalisco se extrae del maguey de las puntas largas siendo el corazon de
la planta el que se usa para hacerlo. El mescal originario de la región de Oaxaca y San Luis Potosí proviene tambien del maguey.
El gusano que se encuentra en la botella viene tambien de la misma planta. El pulque de Hidalgo y Tlaxcala tambien se extrae
del maguey. En la antigüedad fué la Diosa Mayaluetl la que introdujo el pulque el cual era usado como bebida ritual por sacerdotes
y ancianos. Al primer jugo que se extrae de la raiz se le llama aguamiel y tiene propiedades medicinales. El maguey se ha
