Agave is a unique and premium blend of nectars derived from Agave Tequiliana (Blue Agave) and Agave Salmiana (White Agave) plants.

Once you've tasted and cooked with Better Body Agave, we're sure you will agree that Better Body Agave is truly something special an that no other brand can compare.
Low Glycemic Index: A unique characteristic of Better Body Agave is its low GI ( Glycemic Index) value. The Glycemic Index is an indicator of how quickly foods convert to blood glucose in the bloodstream. With a Glycemic Index of 30-35, Better Body Agave doesn't raise your blood sugar level like high GI sweeteners do. Common sweeteners like sugar, and even honey, are high on the Glycemic Index, at approximately 90 GI. Foods that are high on the GI scale spike blood sugar levels wildly and promote weight gain because they produce instant energy — then just as quickly the energy depletes, making you hungry, tired and lethargic — so you eat more to get that energetic feeling back. With Agave, your energy level remains well balanced. In addition, Agave "satiates" you when consumed; you feel satisfied, so you eat less.
Sweeter = 25 to 40% Less Calories! Better Body Agave is 1.4 times sweeter than either sugar or honey, so you use less and save calories without sacrificing sweetness in your foods. Furthermore, Agave has a number of health benefits that can't be matched by any other sweetener. Better Body Agave contains calcium and Inulin, which studies have shown is good for the bacteria in your lower intestine, promoting a healthy digestive tract. As little as 5 to 10 grams of Inulin a day boosts the immune system, promotes regularity, improves calcium absorption and increases bone density. Better Body Agave contains 7.5 grams of Inulin in three tablespoons.
Organically Grown: Better Body Agave is derived from the agave plant, which takes about 7 to 8 years to mature. The plants used to make the nectar for Better Body Agave are grown under strict guidelines that meet USDA organic certification requirements. The farms and processing facility are part of a co-op of 700 farmers. Better Body Agave believes in fair trade and pays growers a fair price — nectar for Agave is never purchased in the open market. This relationship with growers enables us to offer a product of consistently superior quality.

Cooking Qualities
Better Body Organic Agave is the Complete Sugar Replacement™ and is truly where Delicious Meets Nutritious.™ Better Body Organic Agave tastes great, is very versatile, and is easy to use in the kitchen. Agave can be used for cooking, canning and baking or as a table top sweetener for cereal, coffee or tea. In order to use Agave, it is best to understand its cooking qualities.
Please keep the following in mind.
Highly Soluble. Better Body Organic Agave mixes well in anything whether hot or cold. In fact, it dissolves into water, coffee, tea or any mix better than sugar and does not leave any residual on the bottom. As a result, you can minimize the sweetness level and add more later. For example, when making cranberry sauce, you can use less Agave and add more to taste after the sauce has been cooked.
Use Lower Temperatures. Better Body Organic Agave sweetened baked goods should be cooked at lower temperature. Most baked items are baked at 350?. As a general rule, you should reduce the heat by 25? to 325? and cook for approximately the same amount of time.
Promotes Rise. Better Body Organic Agave is great for whole grain cooking as it promotes rise. You will find that baked goods are lighter, fluffier and moisture when cooked with Agave over sugar or honey. We recommend grinding you own flour and have recommended a number of white flour options in the cookbook, Delicious Meets Nutritious.
Acts as a Natural Preservative. Better Body Organic Agave is a natural preservative because of its hygroscopic effect. Baked goods will taste fresher longer and generally taste better on the second day.
Reduce Liquid Volumes. Better Body Organic Agave is a liquid and sugar is a dry ingredient in recipes. I have found that you do not need to make adjustments unless you want to. You can add a little flour or reduce the other liquids in a recipe. We have found that you can reduce oils and save even more calories without sacrificing taste and texture. Remember that inulin is used in commercial baking to enhance the flavor and texture of low fat and low sugar baked items. A perfect example of this is a Zucchini Bread Recipe in Delicious Meets Nutritious. We reduced the oil from 1 cup to 1/2 cup and saved 1000 calories in addition to the 500 calories already saved by using Agave instead of sugar. If you choose to reduce the liquids, and it is a choice, reduce the fats and oils.
Storage and Shelf Life. Better Body Organic Agave has a naturally long shelf life and will last up to 18 months after it is opened. It does not require refrigeration or any special care. So go ahead and keep it on your counter top for ready access!
