Agave Nectar comes from the Agave plants that has long been cultivated in hilly, semi-arid soils of Mexico. Its fleshy leaves cover the pineapple-shaped heart of the plant, which contains a sweet sticky juice. Ancient Mexicans considered the plant to be sacred. They believed the liquid from this plant purified the body and soul. When the Spaniards arrived, they took the juices from the agave and fermented them, leading to the drink we now call tequila. Only recently has it come in use as a sweetener. Unlike the crystalline form of fructose, which is refined primarily from corn, Agave Nectar is sweet in its natural form. Agave syrup is four times sweeter than white sugar so consequently you use less.
