Agave syrup
Agave syrup (also known as agave nectar) is a naturally occurring
sweetener similar in consistency to honey, although slightly thinner.
It is extracted from various species of the agave plant, which grows
mainly in Mexico. It is easily dissolvable, meaning it's particularly
suited to use in cocktails and smoothies, and its liquid form means
it's often used in place of honey, by vegans, for instance, or golden
syrup. It's made up of fructose and glucose, meaning it has a much
lower glycemic index than conventional granulated sugar (sucrose).
