Agave syrup - 100% natural sweetener with low calorie and low glycemic index, suitable for diet and for diabetics

Agave syrup is a natural Mexican sweetener based on fructose. Agave plant is a traditional part of Americas Southwest and Mexican diet for centuries. Native Mexicans call agave "Mexican tree of life and abundance". They first produced paper from its leaves and sewing needles from sharp thorns. The ancient Aztecs considered agave plant sacred and believed that the juice that flows out after being cut from the leaves and roots of plants, cleanse the body and soul. Later, Spanish conquerors used the plant as they wished: they fermented agaves sweet juice and make tequila.

Agave syrup is actually concentrated juice from agave. Raw juice of the agave is regularly collected from wild cactuses growing in central Mexico. This is usually the job of Native Americans. First, you need to cut the top of the plant resembling pineapple and take out its middle. A stone is put on its hollow. Cactus releases a juice which is collected for a few days in the hollowed center. Milk-colored juice is then removed from each plant individually. The juice is high in polyfructose or inulin, which changes during mild thickening without use of any chemicals into fructose. Agave Nectar Bio nebio comes from a certified organic, which means it has been prepared from untreated plants growing in industries unaffected by the country and in its manufacture were not used any chemicals.
