Son plantas típicas de las regiones áridas de México. Los magueyes florecen una sola vez (generalmente a los 10 o 12 años). Desde la antigüedad estas plantas y han gozado famapor sus tantos usos prácticos como también medicinales. Los magueyes tienen un uso general y todas las partes de la planta son útiles. las espinas y puas se usan como agujas, las pencas se machacan para hacer cibra y con la cibra se hacen bolsas, 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 usado para curar lo siguiente: golpes en el pecho, apostemas y tumores, toda clase de heridas, gonorrea, sífilis, y dolores de muela."
