100% Pure, Raw, Certified Organic Agave Nectar from wild mature plants. The agave (uh-gah-vay) plant has been long been cultivated in hilly, semi-arid soils of Mexico. Its fleshy leaves cover the pineapple-shaped heart of the plant. This is where the sweet sticky juice is contained. It is best known for its use in making tequila.

Our raw organic agave nectar has never been heated or exposed to temperatures higher than normal desert temperatures where cactus grow around 105-117 degrees Farenheit. Other manufacturers cook it up to 160 degrees or more. Cooking agave can give it a darker color and may increase the fructose content. Our raw agave syrup or nectar is in its natural form and contains about 70% fructose and no sucrose.

Our premium raw organic agave nectar is made using mature plants only over 8 years old. Taste the difference.
