Codex entry
- Entry 1
Common sotol, Dasylirion wheeleri, grows on rocky, well-drained slopes from western Texas and New Mexico into Arizona and northern Mexico. Its tall flowering stalk can rise several meters above the dense rosette.
- Entry 2
People of the Southwest and northern Mexico roasted sotol crowns in earth or stone-lined pits for food. The tough leaves were also worked into baskets, mats, rope, thatch and other durable fiber goods.
- Entry 3
The distilled spirit called sotol is made from fermented Dasylirion cores. Distillation came much later than the plant's food use; Indigenous communities had already roasted the carbohydrate-rich crowns for generations.
