How is agave syrup made?

Agave syrup is produced mainly in the states of Jalisco, Michoacan, Guanajuato and Tamaulipas in Mexico. Its process is very simple, and consists in extracting first all of the juice from the maguey's pineapple.Once that is done the juice is filteres and heated up so that all the water evaporates. With this process tha sugars cointained in the juice are left in the form of a thick syrup that resembles honey.

This is why agave syrup is basically made out of fructose since it is naturally obtained from a plant... interesting isn't it???

Agave syrup is made out of 92% sucrose and only 8% of glucouse, this depends on the brand though since on some products this numbers could vary. Make sure you buy good quality agave syrup...

Another very interesting thing that I can tell you about this product is that tnere are two types of agave syrup... the light and the dark one ... their colors only vary because of the cooking time they receive but the dark one is much sweeter than the light one and has a more particular flavor... it's honestly my favorite!! I just love it!!
