Harvesting

Organic agave syrup is derived from the blue agave plant, which is typically grown in Mexico. The plant requires well-drained volcanic soil and thrives in the hot and arid climate of the region. The harvesting of agave typically takes place in the spring and summer months when the plant reaches maturity, usually between 7 to 10 years old. The core of the agave plant, known as the piña, is harvested and then processed to extract the sweet nectar.

The natural composition of organic agave syrup includes a high concentration of fructose, giving it a low glycemic index compared to other sweeteners. The syrup is known for its light amber colour and its distinctively sweet flavour. As a natural raw product, organic agave syrup contains essential nutrients such as iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium, making it a healthier alternative to refined sugars. The syrup is typically minimally processed to retain its natural goodness and is often certified organic to ensure the absence of synthetic additives or pesticides.

The organic nature of Organic Agave Syrup means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

The History of Organic Agave Syrup

Organic Agave Syrup has a rich history dating back to ancient Mexico, where the agave plant was revered by the Aztecs for its medicinal and culinary properties. The syrup is derived from the sap of the agave plant, which is then processed to create a sweet, natural alternative to sugar. With its low glycemic index and high fructose content, agave syrup gained popularity as a healthier sweetener in the 21st century. Its heritage as a traditional ingredient in Mexican cuisine has contributed to its global appeal, and its organic variant reflects a commitment to sustainable farming practices and natural purity.
