This natural liquid sweetener is made purely from the extract of the Mexican agave plant. A typical serving is 1 teaspoon, which contains 20 calories, 5 grams of total carbs, 0 grams of fat and 0 grams protein. Our agave is sweeter than sugar, so 1/2 to 2/3 cup will replace 1 cup of sugar. Organic Nectars Agave Nectar has approximately 1/3 the glycemic index of sugar, making it suitable for many diabetics and others watching their sugar intake. The glycemic index indicates how much the blood sugar increases 2-3 hours after food consumption. Most carbs are metabolized into the simple carbohydrate glucose, which in the glycemic index concept is arbitrarily assigned a value of 100. Packaging - Plastic Pail Case Size - 1
