What is agave syrup?
Agave syrup or agave nectar is made from the juice of the agave plant, a succulent found in desert regions, particularly in Mexico. It is gaining popularity among the people who prefer to consume and cook with minimally processed foods or foods that are high in nutrients. Since it is rich in vitamins B, D, C, and E, as well as calcium, potassium, zinc, magnesium, chromium, and selenium, it boasts a wide range of medical uses as well. For example, it has been used as an anti-inflammatory, a digestive aide, and as a blood purifier. There are several varieties — the varieties that are darker in color typically have the most natural nutrients and tend to be the most flavorful.
