What it is
Organic raw blue agave is a sweetener derived from the blue agave plant, native to Mexico. It is produced by heating the agave sap, which is a clear liquid, to concentrate its natural sugars.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic raw blue agave primarily as a sweetener due to its high sugar content and mild flavor. It is commonly found in baked goods, energy bars, and beverages, where it can also contribute to moisture and texture.
Health notes
In the US, agave nectar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Like other sweeteners, it contributes calories and carbohydrates to the diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sweeteners, but specific evaluations for agave nectar's safety at typical consumption levels are not widely publicized. Some research suggests that agave nectar may have a lower glycemic index than table sugar, but it is still a concentrated source of sugars, mainly fructose.
Allergen info
Agave is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
