Agave nectar, pure and healthy sweetness
Friday, September 3rd, 2010
The sweetness of Snog comes from Agave nectar, a natural extract from the Blue Agave plant.
Agave nectar is around 90% fructuse and 10% glucose. It offers the same sweetness as refined sugar, but with nearly half the amount of calories.
It has the lowest Glycemic Index of any sweetener, between 25 and 50. Refined sugar notches up a massive 92.
Being low GI makes Agave nectar the natural choice of sweetener for anyone with sugar sensitivities such as diabetes.
In fact, its health benefits have been known for centuries – the Aztecs even used it as a medicine.
Our Agave nectar is both organic and fair-trade.
