Agave syrup is a sweetener commercially produced from several species of agave. It is sweeter than honey and tends to be thinner and flow more freely than honey.
To make the agave nectar, sap is extracted from the core of the plant, filtered, and heated at a low temperature. The main polysaccharide is called inulin or fructosan and is mostly fructose. This filtered juice is then concentrated to a syrupy liquid. Its color varies from light to dark amber.

aPPLICATION
Agave nectar is a delicious natural sweetener that can be used by dieters, some diabetics, and health conscious cooks – to replace high-glycemic and refined sugars.
Agave nectar is approx. 1.5 times sweeter than sugar and is often substituted for sugar or honey in recipes. In cooking, it is commonly used as a Vegan alternative to honey.
Agave nectar dissolves quickly and so it can be used as a sweetener for cold beverages such as iced tea. It is added to some breakfast cereals as a binding agent.
