Things you should know about Agave in the market. There are only 3 major producers of Agave Nectar in the world. Nekutli, IIDEA and us. You may see different brand names but the agave comes from these sources. Nekutli doesn't use Blue Agave Nectar, but uses "maguey" to produce their syrup. For some reason these other products contain unnatural sugars that are non existent in pure Agave Nectar (*Maltose, Sucrose, *Mannitol and others according to their chemical breakdown). These sugars are not healthy for those who monitor their blood sugar or are buying Agave because of a medical condition or for a healthy lifestyle. Our Agave Nectar is the only agave which contains 100% agave nectar produced today and does not contain these foreign sugars. The best agave for your body must be low in fructose (less than 50%), low in glucose and cannot contain any other sugars. We get a lot of questions about which agave's come from which companies. Just ask the company to see their chemical breakdown testing to see if they have any foreign sugars. Learn more about Agave Nectar.
