Sheer Agave Nectar
Sheer Agave is 100% made from the Blue Weber agave plant. Sheer Agave has no artificial sweeteners, additives or processing chemicals. The result is a delicious liquid with great taste and distinct flavor.
The Natural Sugar Substitute
There are 236 individual species of the agave plant. Not all agave plants are the same, and not all agave is created equal. Harvested and produced in Mexico, Sheer Agave Nectar is 100% made from the Blue Weber agave plant – the same plant that produces world-renowned tequila.
Benefits of Agave Nectar
Sweeter than sugar: Sheer Agave nectar is 1.4 times sweeter than refined sugar, so less can be used for equal sweetening
Lower in calories: because agave nectar is sweeter than both sugar and honey, a smaller quantity is needed to acquire the same level of sweetness. Total calorie consumption decreases as a result
Low on the Glycemic Index: agave nectar does not spike your blood sugar levels. Honey and sugar have GI - between 60 and 70; while Sheer Agave nectar’s GI is under 30. This is attractive to both diabetics as well as consumers on a low-carb or slow carb diet
Ability to dissolve & ease of use: perfect for mixing in hot beverages or cocktails, agave nectar dissolves more quickly than honey and granulated sugar
Long shelf life and no refrigeration required. Sheer Agave nectar has a long shelf life and does not crystallize in the bottle. It also does not require refrigeration.
Imparts a subtle flavor: Sheer Agave nectar imparts a subtle flavour adding to your beverage or food item, enhancing your offering
Keeps your goods fresher: Agave is a moisture retainer; it increases the freshness and shelf life of baked goods

How to Use Agave Nectar
Cocktails
Agave nectar is a great substitute for simple syrup. Agave nectar mixes easily in cocktails, has low viscosity and does not crystalize over time. Agave nectar also imparts a sweet and subtle flavor into your cocktail creation.
Agave nectar works as a sugar substitute for tequila drinks and other clear spirits. Agave nectar keeps refrigerated as long as the other simple syrup sugar substitutes. Alternatively, mix agave nectar by itself into drinks, but you should add about a third less than the recipe requires because it's much sweeter than sugar.
Coffee & Tea
Agave nectar is a terrific sweetener for hot beverages. Agave does not clump at the bottom like honey or maple syrup. Agave’s flavour will impart a flavourful sweetness into your hot beverage. Many coffee and tea shops are choosing agave to compliment their sweetener offerings for their customers.
Cooking & Baking
Sheer Agave Nectar is a complete natural sugar substitute perfect for cooking & baking. It has a lower glycemic index, gluten free, dissolves both in hot & cold liquids and has other advantages over refined sugar.
Agave Nectar is less viscous than other sweeteners, it has a stable shelf life, does not crystallize, nor does it need to be refrigerated. Sheer Agave Nectar blends easily into recipes - simply squeeze the liquid from a bottle and it stirs quickly into both cold and hot liquids as well as other ingredients.
Agave Nectar is a great alternative to sugar. It is sweeter than sugar so you use less: ¼ to ½ cup of agave nectar for every 1 cup of sugar in the original recipe. This means lower calories!
Agave Nectar has excellent moisture retaining properties: adding moisture and binding properties to gluten-free recipes.
Agave Nectar is ideal for bread and to create baked goods with light and fluffy texture.
Agave Nectar will keep baked goods fresher for longer periods of time. Baked goods with agave nectar brown more quickly; so oven temperature and cooking time should be reduced.
