They also used it as a sweetener, for special celebratory beverages Aguamiel (honey water) is the juice that the plant “prepares” to feed the quiote.

Presentation: Pet bottle of 350 g Amaretto Hazelnut Raspberry Vanilla Irish Cream Cinnamon Cappuccino Glycemic Index This is a relatively new concept which can be important from a metabolic standpoint, especially to diabetics, along with athletes and grossly overweight individuals. The index is an indicator as to how much your blood sugar increases in 2-3 hours after specific food consumption. Most if not all carbohydrates are normally metabolized into the simple carbohydrate glucose, which in the glycemic index concept is arbitrarily assigned a value of 100. As a result, the higher a glycemic index food number is, the faster it raises your blood sugar level. Foods or ingredients with glycemic index numbers close to or above 100 present some significant health issues to diabetics. According to results provided by The Glycemic Index Laboratories in December 2005, Nekutli’s Agave Syrup was found to have a glycemic index of 31.9. Using the classification of Brand-Miller, the product falls into the “Low GI category” (less than 55).
