agave syrup

Agave syrup is a natural sweetener derived from the heart of the agave plant, native to Mexico. It has a thick, honey-like consistency and a sweet taste, often used as an alternative to sugar or honey. The syrup is made by extracting and filtering the plant’s sap, then heating or processing it to break down complex sugars into simpler, sweeter forms called fructooligosaccharides. Agave syrup has a low glycemic index, meaning it causes a slower rise in blood sugar levels, making it popular among those seeking a sweetener with a milder metabolic impact.
