Organic Blue Agave Recipes
NEW 44oz size now available!
Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Blue Agave is a natural sweetener extracted from the core of the Blue Agave plant.
- Sweet, mild nectar is 25% sweeter than sugar (so more is less!)
- A perfect multi-purpose sweetener for beverages, fresh fruit and general table-top use
- Glycemic index of 39 or less; Natural sweetness without the blood sugar spike
- Blue Agave is non-crystallizing and quick dissolving.
Blue Agave has a bright sweetness that quickly dissipates. Perfect in baked goods, fresh fruit and smoothies, salad dressings and savory sauces.
Cooking tips:
- Use as a one-for-one replacement for sugar, then adjust to your own personal taste. Some chefs prefer to use 75% as much Blue Agave nectar as they would sugar in a recipe, but others prefer a straight 1:1 replacement.
- Reduce the other liquids in a recipe by up to 30%.
- Cook lower and slower: reduce your baking temperature by about 25 degrees and bake for a little longer.

The pH of Organic Blue Agave syrup is 4.3 to 4.8, which makes it very stable and prevents fermentation. While we recommend storing Organic Blue Agave syrup with the lid on and in a dark cool environment, refrigeration is optional. The recommended shelf life is 2-years after opening, but we have NEVER met anyone who needed to test that limit. It's too delicious to last that long!
The date code stamped on each bottle consists of 6-7 digits that identify the production date and facility. For example, 07-001-Z would indicate that the product was produced on January 1, 2007 at facility "Z."
