Agave nectar

sweetener

Agave nectar (also called agave syrup) is a sweetener produced from several species of agave, including blue agave (Agave tequilana).[1][2] Agave syrup is sweeter than honey and tends to be less viscous. Most agave syrup comes from Mexico and South Africa.

Blue agave (Agave tequilana)
Because agave nectar dissolves quickly, it can be used as a sweetener for cold beverages such as cocktails, smoothies, and iced tea.
