The maguey flower (Agave spp.), in Spanish, flor de maguey (Spanish pronunciation:[maˈɣej]), also known locally as gualumbo, hualumbo, quiote or jiote[1][n. 1] is a typical product of Mexican cuisine, cultivated mainly in the rural areas of the center of the country. Due to its difficult availability, it is considered a delicacy. Maguey flowers are harvested and consumed closed (when they have not yet flowered), since once opened (ripened), they have a bitter taste.[2]
