Why I Use Agave?

People have been asking me, why agave?  Well, it’s VEGAN, sugar-free, has a low glycemic index and is an ancient healer.  Agave is derived from a Mexican cactus and is just about 25% sweeter than sugar, therefore, less is desired.  Not only is it naturally sweet but it’s also completely VEGAN.  Some granulated sugars and brown sugars are filtered using bone char, which is animal-bone-based charcoal.  The low glycemic index of the agave benefits everyone and is even a great alternative for diabetics to broaden their dietary options.  When substituting agave instead of sugar it takes some experimenting when baking.  Just remember less is more.  We choose to use the organic raw blue agave because it has no preservatives and has no GMOs.  Herbal remedies with the use of agave range from relieving indigestion to healing skin wounds.
