| Organic Dark Agave Nectar - 16 oz. Agave syrup, a mineral-rich, dark syrup with a vanilla-like aroma and a hint of maple syrup flavor can sweeten any type of beverage or food. Why Agave? Because it's better for you than other types of sweeteners. Due to its 70% fructose content, it has a low glycemic index which is why it is useful for those who are diabetic, who want to reduce their calorie or carbohydrate intake or who are insulin resistant. It's 25% sweeter than table sugar so you'll simply use less! Yes, it is the same plant from which the famed spirit Tequila is derived! It is simply the unfermented, reduced juice of the amazing Agave plant. This raw, organic agave nectar is made from the world-renowned blue agave (considered to be the finest in the world), and is higher in fructose-producing carbohydrates than other types of agave. It is unprocessed, unfiltered and natural, thus retaining valuable nutrients, minerals and enzymes that are absent from many other agave products and sweeteners. This product is made using state-of-the-art low-temperature processing technology making it the least heat-exposed dark agave product on the market. Dark agave has a relatively low glycemic index as mentioned above (even when compared to other agave products), meaning that it is metabolized more slowly into the bloodstream than other sweeteners. This special quality makes it a valuable resource for diabetics, people with hypoglycemia, or anyone who is concerned with maintaining an even blood-sugar level. Give it a try! | |
