Agave (Agave salmiana) is a plant native to Mexico, but due to its usefulness and decorative value, it has spread to other parts of the world. It is characterised by tough, fleshy leaves, is drought-resistant, and requires little water to grow.
When we think of agave, tequila often comes to mind – the strong alcoholic drink made from agave juice. What may surprise many, however, is that the fibres from its leaves are also used to make ropes, carpets, fabrics, and many other textiles.
In the context of a balanced and healthy lifestyle, we must not overlook agave syrup. This liquid sweetener is an excellent alternative to ordinary white sugar, as it is sweeter, meaning a smaller quantity is needed.
Agave syrup is less processed than white sugar and therefore retains a higher content of natural compounds. It is obtained from the juice of the agave, which is filtered, hydrolysed, and then concentrated into a syrup with a high fructose (fruit sugar) content.
The key step in producing agave syrup is hydrolysis, where water is added to convert natural complex sugars into simple sugars suitable for use as a sweetener. This process is essential for achieving the syrup’s characteristic sweetness and texture.
The benefits of Organic Agave Syrup from the OnEnergy brand:
Recommended use: Use as a natural substitute for sugar in the preparation of desserts or as an optional sweetener for food and drinks (e.g., tea, coffee, smoothies, and more). When using in recipes, replace the required amount of sugar with three-quarters the amount of agave syrup and reduce the quantity of liquid accordingly to maintain the desired consistency.
