Agave Syrop Section: Agave is a plant found in abundance in Mexico. It has been used for thousands of years for its medicinal properties, as a sweetener, and in the production of tequila.

Agave nectar, also known commercially as agave syrup, is a natural sweetener, 1.4-1.6 times sweeter than sugar , and is often used as a substitute for sugar and honey in recipes. It is used as an ingredient in the manufacture of low -GI (glycemic index) products because almost all of the sugar it contains is in the form of fructose (it has minimal glucose, at least compared to sugar). The taste of agave syrup is similar to that of honey . It also does not have the usual bitter aftertaste of sweeteners.
