Agave nectar (sometimes called agave syrup) is most often produced from the Blue Agaves that thrive in the volcanic soils of Southern Mexico. Agaves are large, spikey plants that resemble cactus or yuccas in both form and habitat, but they are actually succulents similar to the familiar Aloe Vera.
In addition to growing from seeds, most agaves produce 'pups' â young plants from runners. Agave vilmoriniana (the octopus agave) produces hundreds of pups on its bloom stalk. Agave leaves store the plantâs water and are crucial to its continued existence. The coated leaf surface prevents evaporation. The leaves also have sharp, spiked edges.
