Better still, Agave Nectar is 1.4 times sweeter than sugar--allowing you to use less and reduce calories in your cooking. Organically grown, 100 percent pure with no additives of any kind, allergen free, and kosher-certified, Madhava Agave Nectar is a staple sweetener for any kitchen.

About Agave Nectar
The agave, also known as the "maguey" tree, is one of Mexican culture's most important plants, since it is a rare producer of liquid in the desert. The maguey has been called the "tree of wonders," and is believed to delay the aging process when consumed in the womb and throughout life. The natives of the northern valley of Mexico have been utilizing the plant's numerous properties for centuries. The plant's clear sap, known as aguamiel, is consumed for its nutritional value and is also refined into tequila and other beverages. Agave nectar is produced from the heart of the agave plant. The heart is removed from the plant by jimadores--harvesters with generations of knowledge--the juice is then rendered and undergoes a process known as hydrolysis, resulting in Agave Nectar syrup that is "sweeter than sugar and smoother than honey."

A Sustainable and Healthier Alternative to Refined Sugars
Organically grown agave plants are cultivated, tended, and harvested by hand. Agave nectar offers the lowest carbon footprint of any sweetener thanks to these generations-old, sustainable growing practices. The healthful properties of agave nectar are numerous:

• Agave is 1.4 times sweeter than refined sugar, so less can be used for equal sweetening--resulting in fewer calories.
• Agave's low Glycemic Index of 32 means it is less disruptive to blood sugar levels, so it doesn't create the "sugar rush" typical of other sweeteners.
• Agave has no known allergens and is 100 percent gluten, nut, and dairy free.
• Madhava Agave is grown using only natural fertilizers, employing agricultural practices that meet organic certification standards.
• Madhava Agave is Kosher Pareve and has obtained the certificate from Scrol K.
