What it is
Organic agave syrup is a sweetener derived from the agave plant, native to Mexico and the southwestern United States. The plant's sap is extracted and then filtered and heated to break down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars, primarily fructose and glucose.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use agave syrup as a sweetener due to its high sweetness level and liquid form, which makes it easy to incorporate into foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, beverages, granola bars, and candies.
Health notes
Agave syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Like other sugars, it provides calories and can impact blood sugar levels. JECFA has evaluated agave syrup and established specifications for its identity and quality. While often marketed as a healthier alternative to sugar, it is still a concentrated source of calories and sugars.
Allergen info
Agave syrup is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
