Agave

Agave Nectar is an exciting new sweetener naturally extracted from the Americana Agave (a cactus-like plant native to Mexico.) it dissolves easily and is a great tasting sweetener that can replace honey, dates, maple syrup and other sweeteners. It has a very natural, light taste and is milder in taste then honey or maple syrup or other sweeteners that ca have an overpowering taste in many recipes.

Because of the low glycemic index, agave nectar is absorbed slowly into the bloodstream. This means that it does not significantly raise blood sugar levels therefore, you do not get the highs and lows associated with sugar intake. Because of the low glycemic index It is also acceptable for people with diabetes and hyperglycemia.

It also provides vitamins and minerals not found in processed sweeteners.
