Agave syrup Agave is a plant that grows in large amounts in Mexico. It has been used for thousands of years as a medicinal plant, sweetener, and to make tequila.

Agave nectar, commercially known also as agave syrup, is a natural sweetener, 1.4-1.6 times sweeter than sugar and often substituting sugar or honey in recipes. It is used as an ingredient in the manufacturing of low GI (glycemic index) products, since almost all of its sugar is fructose (has very little glucose, at least when compared to sugar). The taste of agave nectar is comparable to honey. It also has none of the bitter aftertaste associated with high intensity sweeteners.

Try AVEL's agave syrup made of 100% Tequilana Weber blue agave. It is suitable for various types of applications, like beverages, pastries, cereal bars and dairy products.
