AGAVE

A-what-e? Agave (uh-GAH-vay) is a succulent plant native to dry, hilly areas of Mexico. The heart of the plant contains a sweet, sticky nectar that is very high in natural fructose. Recently, this nectar has become popular as a low-glycemic alternative to table sugar. "Low-glycemic" means it does not affect blood sugar levels in the drastic way refined sugars and syrups do. Additionally, less agave nectar is required to achieve sweetness, making it very useful to diabetics and others watching their sugar intake.

Our certified organic agave nectar is processed from sap extracted from the large, pineapple like core of the Blue Agave plant. These beautiful plants are grown sustainably, and provide the highest quality agave for food sweetening.
