Agave syrup comes from a cactus plant that is native to Mexico. It is intensely sweet and has a mild flavour, making it an excellent alternative to sugar, honey or maple syrup in baking and in drinks. One of the most health-promoting properties of agave nectar is its favorable glycemic profile. Its sweetness comes primarily from a complex form of fructose called inulin. Fructose is the sugar that occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables. The carbohydrate in agave nectar has a low glycemic index, which provides sweetness without the unpleasant "sugar rush" and unhealthful blood sugar spike caused by many other sugars.
It makes perfect sense for Abel & Cole to offer Crazy Jack organic products because sustainability is the core of the Crazy Jack philosophy. Back in the 1970's, wholefoods were seen as a fad…natural food was seen as 'alternative'! So Crazy Jack persevered, and is still sourcing food grown in a manner that is not damaging to the environment or potentially harmful to humans.
