The agave plant has been grown for hundreds of years, mainly in South and Central America. There are fleshy and thick leaves arranged in a rosette, covered with sharp thorns. The syrup is made from the inside, called a "pin". The resin is extracted mechanically and carefully filtered. The liquid is heated at low temperature - up to 47 degrees. Pina is rich in carbohydrates. For this reason, the syrup contains a lot of fructose. Its taste is similar to that of honey, and the color is golden.
The lighter color of the syrup indicates that it has been processed at a lower temperature and is precisely filtered. It can be included in a variety of recipes because of its neutral taste.
Agave syrup can be an alternative to white sugar and honey. The taste is softer than honey. Agave syrup is almost 1.5 times sweeter than regular sugar. It contains natural enzymes, minerals and vitamins, as well as fiber and inulin. It also contains calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron.
Agave syrup is a natural sweetener of plant origin in semi-liquid form. Vegans like to use it as a substitute for honey. It has a lower GI than honey and is widely used in cooking.
Agave syrup is most often used for cakes and desserts and as a sweetener for tea, coffee, hot and cold drinks and as a topping for waffles, pancakes and ice cream. When baking cakes, pay attention to the fact that agave syrup accelerates the redness of the dough, so it is recommended to reduce the baking temperature by 15-20 C.
