Agave syrup, also known as agave nectar, is a sweetener derived from the agave plant, native to Mexico. Commonly used in Mexican cuisine and beverages like tequila-based cocktails, it has gained global popularity as a natural alternative to sugar. Agave syrup contains fructose as its primary carbohydrate, giving it a sweet taste with a lower glycemic index than regular sugar, which may help prevent blood sugar spikes. However, its high fructose content can strain the liver if consumed in excess, making moderation essential. It is often used in baking, drinks, and dressings due to its smooth consistency and ability to dissolve easily. While agave syrup is less processed than refined sugars, its health benefits depend on usage and overall dietary balance. Always choose minimally processed versions of agave syrup to ensure the best quality.
