Agave nectar vs Honey

The agave nectar is about 1.5 times sweeter than honey. Furthermore, it has a wide variety of flavors, which makes it a suitable additive for most foods. In addition, the nectar does not impact the nutritional balance of food. Agave nectar is a plant product, meaning that it is a perfect alternative for vegans and vegetarians.

In comparison to honey, agave nectar has a very low-glycemic index, and it is a safe sweetener for diabetics. Moreover, it does not spike blood-sugar levels or stimulate insulin response. Rather than increasing body fats, agave nectar assists in the breaking down of body fats through the gallbladder. Unlike honey, which causes bacterial diseases such as botulism in babies, agave nectar is safe for consumption by babies, because it does not contain any bacteria.
