What it is

Blue agave syrup is a sweetener made from the blue agave plant, native to Mexico. It is produced by extracting the sap (aguamiel) from the plant's core and then processing it to break down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars like fructose and glucose.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use blue agave syrup primarily as a sweetener due to its high fructose content, which makes it sweeter than sugar. Its liquid form also helps with texture and solubility in various products, including baked goods, beverages, and energy bars.

Health notes

Blue agave syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Like other sweeteners, it provides calories and can impact blood sugar levels. While it is primarily fructose, the body metabolizes fructose differently than glucose. JECFA has evaluated agave syrup and did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI).

Allergen info

Blue agave syrup is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
