Introducing Certified JAS Organic pure agave syrup in a 140g (4.9oz) bottle. Agave syrup is a natural sweetener produced from the sap of Mexico's native agave plants. This syrup comes from the Blue Agave, the same plant that is used to produce tequila and mezcal drinks. Absolutely no chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used at any time. No artificial flavors, preservatives, or any other nasties, so you can fully enjoy the all-natural sweet flavor.
This syrup has bold sweetness that is stronger than normal sugar. With it's honey-like consistency, it can be used as a healthier alternative to sugar in drinks like coffee or tea, as well as cooking and baking. The simple taste makes it easy to include without having to worry about overpowering other flavors. Thanks to the low glycemic index (GI), agave syrup is better for diabetics and recommended for those who are watching their sugar intake.
GI (Glycemic Index)
Glycemic index measures the rate at which blood sugar levels rise after consumption and is compared to pure glucose, which has a GI value of 100. Foods with a high GI value cause rapid spikes and drops in blood sugar levels, while those with a low GI value affect blood sugar more gradually. Common table sugar has a GI value of 109 whereas this agave syrup has a GI value of just 21. Foods are classified as "Low GI" if they have a value of 55 or lower.
