What it is

Organic blue agave is a sweetener made from the sap of the blue agave plant, which is native to Mexico. The sap, called agave nectar or agave syrup, is typically filtered and heated to break down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars, primarily fructose and glucose.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic blue agave as a sweetener in a wide variety of foods and beverages due to its high sweetness and liquid form. It is commonly found in products like cereals, baked goods, beverages (including sodas and teas), and dairy products.

Health notes

Organic blue agave is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. It is primarily composed of fructose and glucose, similar to other caloric sweeteners. While it is a source of calories, it has a lower glycemic index than table sugar, meaning it may raise blood sugar levels more slowly. However, excessive intake of any added sugar can contribute to health issues. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated agave syrup, and it is permitted for use in food.

Allergen info

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