agave syrup

Succulent-derived sweetener

Agave syrup is a liquid sweetener derived from the agave plant, the same succulent used to make tequila.

It's marketed as a natural alternative to refined sugar and honey, with a mild flavor and high fructose content.

Also called agave nectar: I use agave syrup in my smoothies instead of honey.
