Ojio Agave Powder Naturally produced Agave Powder is a low-glycemic, healthy alternative to sugar and sugar substitutes, containing nearly 45% inulin, a prebiotic fiber that promotes healthy intestinal flora and calcium absorption. Agave Powder is highly soluble in water and is an excellent sweetener for: • teas • smoothies • desserts • baked goods • cereals, and more Ojio Agave Powder can be used as a 1:1 ratio substitute for sugar. Because agave powder is slightly less sweet, many cooks like to add additional fruit, like dates or bananas, when baking with agave powder to increase the sweetness in a recipe. Ojio Agave Powder is sourced from the Jalisco Province of Mexico, in the land that produces the very best agave: Tequiliana Agave Weber variety. The volcanic soils of Jalisco Province is rich in minerals and encourages the steady growth of a variety of useful plants for harvest. Although the weather is arid, the bountiful rainy season provides the groundwater for healthy annual growth. The agave plant is a suculent that absorbs and uses its own water supply to sustain itself. It takes 5 to 8 years for the agave to reach a harvestable stage. When it is ready for harvesting, the center of the agave is cut at ground level and the large leaves are cut away. The rich sap is then pressed out to begin the process of reducing it to a low-glycemic sweetener. The Agave has been harvested in this way for hundreds of years, and now you can enjoy this low glycemic sweetener straight from the Jalisco Province.
