Agave syrup , a healthy alternative to sugar

Agave syrup is a natural sweetener extracted from blue Agave, a Mexican cactus. Agave syrup was already used by the Aztec civilization that really liked its sweet flavor.

Agave syrup Benefits:

• It can help to reduce your sugar consumption due to its high sweetening power
• It has a low-glycemic index (between 15 and 21 in opposition to white sugar that has a glycemic index equal to 70).
• Agave syrup is naturally rich in fructose, which leads to a a lower blood glucose rise compared to foods containing sucrose or glucose.

Beyond its nutritional benefits, agave syrup doesn’t use any additional animal-sourced ingredients during the manufacturing process; what it is not always the same for artificial sweeteners which often use animal ingredients.

Therefore, agave syrup only made up exclusively of ingredients from plant sources and it is absolutely adapted to a vegetarian or vegan diet.
