Agave Nectar, Dark 500ml

Of all the 136 types of agave plants found in their native country of Mexico, only the blue Agave is considered fine enough to make Tequila from. Raw Pleasure A grade, organic agave is made from the same juice, but saved from alcoholic fermentation, and instead evaporated to produce the characteristic sweet, highly mineralised nectar unmatched by any other species of lower quality plants.

A grade agave contains the highest percentage of fructose, which is one of only a couple of types of carbohydrate directly usable by human cells as fuel. Other types of agave nectar (such as Raw Pleasure standard agave) have lower levels making them still sweet but with a different useability and glycemic index to the A grade, organic.

All of our agave's then have air blown over them to evaporate excess moisture reducing weight and heightening their flavour completely naturally and free of all chemicals. This creates the dark agaves, which contain a high level of minerals, and a unique fruity, molasses like flavour with a hint of vanilla. The light agave is then made by filtering the dark agave multiple times to create a lighter coloured, lighter flavoured (but still as sweet) food, more suitable for putting in dishes that need to have their colour or original flavour kept intact.

Being high in fructose also creates the advantage of making agave sweeter than common sugars such as sucrose (as in common table sugar) but with a lower number of calories, while still being more easily usable and offering advantages to people with blood sugar insulin related disorders.

All Raw Pleasure agave's are unique in being produced with close attention to temperature guidelines and chromatographic sugar studies to ensure the highest quality, most unique raw, vegan, sweetner in Australia.
