Our organic Wild Light Agave Nectar is a raw, natural liquid sweetener extracted from the core of living agave cactus plants. Wild agave nectars are made from 3-6 different agave species, but primarily from agave salmiana. The agave juice undergoes an enzymatic action that converts the complex sugars into simple sugars, similar to how a bee creates honey, producing agave nectar.
Why Use Agave Nectar?The filtering process used to produce agave nectar results in a taste similar to a fusion of honey and maple syrup. By maintaining a maximum temperature of 115 degrees during the filtration process, agave nectar retains vitamins, minerals and enzymes not found in other processed sweeteners.
Benefits of Agave NectarAgave nectar is a natural sweetener that absorbs slowly into the bloodstream, thereby minimizing the highs and lows associated with sugar intake. With a low glycemic index of 25-46, agave nectar is suitable for people with diabetes and hyperglycemia.
Combined with the strong antioxidants found in raw cacao, agave nectar helps make Smart Healthy Life chocolate a nutritious and delicious whole food treat.
