Agave (Agave salmiana) is a plant native to Mexico, which has spread to other parts of the world due to its versatility and ornamental appeal. It features tough, fleshy leaves, is drought-resistant, and requires very little water to grow.
When we think of agave, tequila often comes to mind – a strong alcoholic beverage distilled from agave juice. However, many are surprised to learn that the plant’s fibres are also used to make ropes, carpets, textiles, and various other fabric-based products.
In the context of a balanced and health-conscious lifestyle, agave syrup deserves special mention. This liquid sweetener is a popular natural alternative to refined white sugar, as it is sweeter in taste, meaning a smaller quantity is needed to achieve the same level of sweetness.
Agave syrup is a less processed alternative to white sugar and retains a higher level of naturally occurring compounds. It is derived from the juice of the agave plant, which is filtered, hydrolysed, and then concentrated into a syrup rich in fructose (fruit sugar).
A key step in the production of agave syrup is hydrolysis. During this process, water is added to convert the plant’s natural complex sugars into simple sugars, making them suitable for use as a sweetener. This transformation is essential to achieve the syrup’s distinctive sweetness, smooth texture, and excellent versatility in both food and beverages.
