Agave nectar (sometimes called agave syrup) is most often produced from the Blue Agaves that thrive in the volcanic soils of Southern Mexico. Agaves are large, spikey plants that resemble cactus or yuccas in both form and habitat, but they are actually succulents similar to the familiar Aloe Vera.
Native Mexican peoples do make a sort of sweetener out of the agave plant. Itâs called miel de agave, and itâs made by boiling the agave sap for a couple of hours. Think of it as the Mexican version of authentic Canadian maple syrup. But this is not what most so-called âagave nectarâ is.o there you have it. Agave nectar is not traditional, is highly refined, and actually has more concentrated fructose than high-fructose corn syrup. It is not a ânaturalâ sweetener. Thus far, the evidence definitely points toward the conclusion: Agave Nectar = Bad.
