Agave nectar (more accurately called agave syrup) is a sweetener commercially produced from several species of agave, including Agave tequilana (blue agave) and Agave salmiana. Agave syrup is sweeter than honey and tends to be less viscous.
Though there are other species used to produce agave nectars, such as the Maguey Agave, the premium nectars are produced from 100% Weber Blue Agave. How is Agave Nectar Made?When the agave has grown to 7-10 years old, the leaves of the plant are cut off, revealing the core of the plant (called the pina).ighter and darker varieties of agave nectar are made from the same plants. Because of the low temperatures used in processing many varieties (under 118Â°F) raw foods enthusiasts generally regard agave nectar as a raw food.
