Certified organic, Sweet Cactus Farms premium agave nectar is an exciting new sweetener naturally extracted from the pineapple-shaped core of the agave, a cactus-like plant native to Mexico.
With a 90% fruit sugar content, this 100% blue weber agave nectar absorbs slowly into the body, decreasing the highs and lows associated with sucrose intake. The glycemic index is very low (11).
This special extra dark nectar is rich in the agave's natural minerals: iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium.
Sweet Cactus Farms premium agave nectar is at least 35% sweeter than sugar, so you can use less and save on calories.
