Jimador (original) (raw)
A jimador is a type of farmer who harvests agave plants, which are harvested primarily for the production of mezcal, sotol and tequila. This task requires the skill of identifying ripe agave, which ripens in between 5 and 35 years, depending on the agave species. Unripe agave can have a bitter or overly sweet taste, ruining the distilled spirits made from them. The primary tool of a jimador is the coa de jima or simply coa. This is a flat-bladed knife at the end of a long pole that resembles a hoe. The coa is used to first remove the flower from the agave, which causes the central pineapple (or piña) to swell. Later, the piña is harvested, using the same tool to cut off all of the external leaves of the plant, leaving only the pulpy center which is then chopped and cooked in preparation fo

| dbo:abstract | El jimador es un tipo de agricultor originario de México que se dedica a cosechar plantas de agave, principalmente para la elaboración de tequila, sotol y mezcal. Esta tarea requiere la habilidad de identificar el agave maduro (entre 8 y 12 años). El agave inmaduro puede tener un sabor amargo o demasiado dulce, arruinando los aguardientes elaborados a partir de él. La herramienta principal de un jimador es la coa de jima o diversos tipos de hoz. La coa para jimar es un cuchillo de hoja plana en el extremo de un poste largo que se asemeja a una azada. La coa se utiliza para eliminar primero la flor del agave, que hace que la piña central se hinche. Más tarde, la piña se cosecha, utilizando la misma herramienta para cortar todas las hojas exteriores de la planta, dejando sólo el centro pulposo que luego se corta y se cuece en la preparación para la producción de mezcal o tequila.
