Nature's healthy sweetener!

South of the border, the agave plant has been cultivated for centuries. The indigenous people of these areas had a great respect for this plant and the sweet nectar it contains. Today, the rest of the world is discovering that agave is not only a great tasting sweetener but also one of natures’ healthiest and most nutritious. 

Agave nectar is a high fructose sugar. Fructose does not stimulate insulin, making it suitable for some diabetics. It is 25% sweeter than refined sugar with only half the amount of carbohydrate calories. It is a low glycemic sweetener and contains lots of vitamins and minerals, making it a great substitute for other sweeteners.
