Product Overview

• Type: Liquid sweetener derived from the agave plant (Agave tequilana or similar species).

• Certifications:

  • Bio (Organic): Compliant with EU organic standards (Regulation (EC) No 834/2007), meaning no synthetic pesticides, GMOs, or artificial additives are used in production.
  • Fair Trade (Équitable): Indicates that farmers and workers involved in production receive fair wages and working conditions, with a focus on sustainable practices. The label likely aligns with Max Havelaar or similar fair-trade certification schemes.
  • Vegan: Typically free from animal-derived ingredients, though always verify the label for potential cross-contamination warnings.

• Key Features:

  • Low Glycemic Index (GI): Agave syrup is often marketed as a "healthier" alternative to sugar due to its lower GI (though this varies by brand and processing). However, it remains high in fructose (similar to high-fructose corn syrup in some cases), which may have metabolic implications if consumed excessively.
  • Vegan-Friendly: Suitable for plant-based diets.
  • Gluten-Free: Naturally free from gluten.
