Organic Agave

Here are some of the key benefits of agave nectar sweetener compared to refined sugar:
- Lower glycemic index: Agave nectar has a lower glycemic index than sugar, meaning it doesn't cause as rapid or severe a blood sugar spike. This can help with blood sugar control for diabetics or pre-diabetics.
- More minerals: Agave nectar contains small amounts of vitamins and minerals like calcium, potassium, magnesium and B vitamins. Refined sugar contains only empty calories without additional nutrients. 
- May help promote dental health: Some research suggests agave's lower glycemic index may be easier on teeth than refined sugar, reducing the risk of tooth decay over time. However, it's still a sweetener so dental hygiene is important.
- Natural source: Agave comes directly from the agave plant, whereas refined sugar undergoes extensive processing from sugar cane or beets. Some see agave as a more "natural" sweetener choice.
- Different taste: Agave has a milder, less intense sweetness than sugar. Some prefer its more subtle flavor profile in certain applications like tea or yogurt.
- Vegan friendly: As a plant-based sweetener, agave is suitable for vegan and plant-based diets, unlike some natural sweeteners derived from animal sources.
