Agave nectar is an AWESOME replacement for refined sugars and sugar substitutes. Use 1/3 Cup Agave to replace 1 Cup white sugar. Agave is flavor neutral itself. Agave also amplifies other recipe flavors, while sugar attenuates or short circuits other flavors. You'll immediately notice how subtle flavors in your recipes "jump out" with greatest intensity.
Agave's rich density of saponins increases hydration as the soapy, surfactant nature of saponins change the wetting angle of water it contacts. This eases and accelerates cellular water uptake, especially when used with a high-quality salt.
Agave also has extremely low glycemic action. Simplified, glycemic index is the measure of enzymes any food requires for it's sugar components to be digested. Lower glycemic index foods require less digestive enzymes. This redirects pancreatic enzymes to tissue regeneration, immune function and longevity rather than digestion.
Agave resists and defers the majority of it's digestion until the lower intestine, where white sugar and alcohol are both primarily digested/absorbed in the stomach. Agave is a natural for people with sugar metabolism challenges and be sure to consult your health practitioner if this applies to you.
This agave nectar has been infused with 100% Pure Premium Vanilla Bean Powder. Agave nectar and vanilla bean powder together have two primary synergies: they amplify flavors more together than each do individually, & when vanilla bean powder is cold decocted (flavors extracted) in agave nectar, the vanilla agave nectar seems to have even less of a glycemic effect than agave nectar by itself.
