Agave nectar is a delicious, organic, low-calorie natural sweetener, which is extracted from succulent cacti grown in the deserts of the Southwest United States, Central America and Mexico. It was discovered thousands of years ago, but it wasn’t until recently that it began to be recognized for its exceptionally sweet properties. It has a low glycemic index, allowing it to absorb slowly into the body, reducing the highs and lows associated with sugar intake. This wonderful golden syrup is high in natural fructose--which is easier to digest than sugar--and contains no processing chemicals or harmful toxins. Gluten-free agave nectar is a perfect replacement for sugar or honey in any recipe--and because it’s sweeter than sugar, less is needed.
