What it is

Organic raw blue agave nectar is a sweetener derived from the blue agave plant, native to Mexico. It is produced by heating the agave sap, a process that converts complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars like fructose and glucose.

Why it's used

Agave nectar is primarily used as a sweetener in a variety of food products, including baked goods, beverages, and snack bars. Its liquid form and mild flavor make it a versatile alternative to sugar or honey.

Health notes

In the U.S., agave nectar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use as a food ingredient. It is primarily composed of sugars, with a high fructose content. While it provides calories, it offers minimal vitamins or minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated sweeteners, but specific evaluations for agave nectar's health effects at typical consumption levels are ongoing.

Allergen info

Agave nectar is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
