Generally refers to when the quiote is allowed to grow, bloom, and be fertilized. The fertilized flowers yield seeds that can then be planted to produce new agave plants. When agaves are being grown for use in Tequila, the quiote is generally trimmed to prevent this process from taking place, as the quiote utilizes the plant’s sugar reserves, making its piñas less suitable for fermentation.
