Blue Agave: Health Facts

September 11, 2019


The Blue Weber Agave plant is the only ingredient used in agave nectar. To make the nectar, the agave plant's piñas are crushed to extract the juices, which are then heated and filtered to create the simple sugar fructose, and then concentred into a syrup. Despite the fact that there are more steps in making agave syrup than say, harvesting honey from a beehive, it's still considered a healthy option. Agave nectar has:

  • The same calories as honey (54 cal per tablespoon)
  • A very low glycemic index (19-27 vs. 83 and 89 in honey and high fructose corn syrup, respectively) means you won't get high blood sugar levels.
