Agave nectar is an exciting new sweetener that is naturally extracted from the inner core of the agave plant. This is a cactus-like plant native to Mexico. Agave nectar absorbs slowly into the bloodstream, decreasing the highs and lows associated with typical sugar intake. It has a very low glycemic index (GI), between 11 and 19. This means it does not significantly raise blood sugar levels. This makes it particularly suitable for those with sensitivities to sugar.
The amber agave nectar has a slightly more neutral, milder flavour compared to dark agave nectar, making it extremely versatile for all sweetened recipes.
The dark agave nectar has a slightly more dense flavour to amber agave nectar, and works wonders in raw chocolate recipes.

Its gentle method of processing ensures the presence of vitamins and minerals which are not found in heavily processed sweeteners. Agave nectar dissolves easily and its taste is natural and delicious, making it the perfect sweetener to naturally enhance any food or beverage. Its flavour is like a cross between honey and maple syrup. Agave can be used as a delicious replacement for dates, honey, sugar, maple syrup, and other sweeteners. Premium agave nectars such as this are produced from only the Weber Azul or Blue Agave plant (Agave tequilana). Other cheaper agave nectars are made from 3-6 different agave species, but primarily from Agave salmiana. Its flavour is distinctively different than that of our agave nectar. To make our nectar, juice is extracted naturally from the core of living agave cactus plants. Then it’s cleverly processed without even reaching 40 degrees Celsius. The complex sugars in fresh agave juice get converted into simple sugars, resulting in 100% raw agave nectar. The nectar is then finely filtered. This minimal heating and processing ensures that vitamins, minerals and enzymes are left intact for the body to absorb and use.
