Organic Blue Agave Nectar Syrup

Organic Blue Agave Nectar Syrup is a sweetener derived from the blue agave plant, native to Mexico. The plant's sap is extracted and then heated to break down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars, primarily fructose and glucose, creating a liquid syrup.

Manufacturers use it as a natural sweetener in a variety of food products due to its high sweetness and liquid form, which blends easily. It is commonly found in baked goods, beverages, sauces, and snack bars.

Blue agave nectar 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. The WHO has noted that added sugars, including those from sweeteners like agave, should be limited in the diet. JECFA has evaluated agave nectar and established specifications for its identity and quality.
