Agave Nectar
agave nectar. /əˈɡɑːveɪ/
Agave nectar (also called agave syrup) is a sweetener commercially produced in South Africa and Mexico from several species of agave, including the Blue Agave Americana (Agave tequilana) and Salmiana Agave (Agave salmiana). Agave nectar is sweeter than honey, though less viscous.
Agave nectar consists primarily of fructose and glucose. One source gives 92% fructose and 8% glucose; another gives 56% fructose and 20% glucose. These differences, it is presumed, reflect variation from one vendor of agave nectar to another.
