Xagave







This is my second bottle of Xgave I have already done a post on this product and gave it a raving review. However, agave has been getting some mixed emotions on the Internet from people. I wanted to set them straight! First let me tell you about Xagave. What is it?


About Xagave: Xagave brand is Premium Agave Nectar is a wonderful sweetener and food that will help you achieve your health goals, whether it be weight loss, improved digestion, more energy or enhanced immune system. There are differences in Agave nectar's, and not all are created equal. The following should give you a quick overview and understanding of why our blend is so special and different from anything on the market. We believe that it should be the only sweetener in your diet. We are 100% confident that you will taste and feel the difference.


Here are a few facts to help you understand what makes Xagave so special: Premium Blend.Xagave is a unique and special blend of the nectar's derived from Agave Tequiliana (Blue Agave) and Agave Salmiana (White Agave) plants. This proprietary, premium blend provides the best tasting, best cooking qualities, most versatile and healthiest product on the market. No other product has the same concentration of calcium and inulin (a pre-biotic fiber and the only product on the market with a standardized inulin content). Once you have tasted and cooked with Xagave, we are sure that you will agree that no other brand can compare or even come close to the neutral taste and health properties. Truly our nectar is unto a class of it's own. Organically Grown.


Xagave is derived from the Agave Salmiana plant, which takes about 7 to 8 years to mature. The plants are grown under strict guidelines that meet USDA organic certification requirements. The farms and processing facility are part of a co-op of 700 farmers -- we purchase our nectar from farmers that we know -- not in the open market and we believe in fair trade and pay a fair price for the product. We know where our agave comes from and who grows it and the standards utilized.


Agave plants are processed and how our product is stands above as a premium organic and raw product Low Glycemic Index.


Xagave is a very low GI food. Xagave, a low glycemic index food (approximately 30 to 35), does not raise your blood sugar levels and, in fact, the inulin (a soluble fiber), helps to further moderate it. We recommend that you check with your doctor, but a significant number of our diabetic clients have noticed that the consumption of Xagave does not have a significant impact on blood sugar levels and love how they feel after consuming the delicious foods made with Xagave. Just look at the nutritional info here! With only 60 cals you wont believe how good this stuff tastes! It is better than honey in my book any day. I like to drizzle on fruit,coffee, Greek yogurt, PB and bake with it. There are so many ways to use it that I cant even list them all. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT and I LOVE the benefits....What are some of the benefits you ask? I will tell ya!
FROM THIS TO

THIS! Agave Quick Facts: Xagave is the Sweet, Satisfying and Sensible choice to sweeten your foods. The following outlines the key benefits of this wonderful sweetener.


Sweeter than Sugar. Xagave is sweeter than sugar. In fact, it is 1.4 times sweeter than sugar so you use less to achieve the same level of sweetness.Saves Calories.Xagave can be used in all of your favorite recipes. Typically, you will substitute 1/2 cup for every cup of sugar called for. Thus, saving between 25 to 40% in carbohydrate calories. In addition, the inulin (a pre-biotic fiber) permits the reduction of fats in baked items which significantly reduces calories even further.


Tastes Delicious. Xagave is a great-tasting, natural sweetener. It is even being used by restaurants in beverages and sauces and is preferred over sugar. The neutral sweet taste does not impart any other flavors to your cooking unlike other nectars and it has even been teenage-tested in Kool-Aid, Zucchini Bread and numerous other recipes without detection or rejection. Finally a sugar substitute without strange aftertastes!


Low Glycemic Index. Xagave is a very low glycemic index food. It is approximately 30 on the glycemic index scale. Anything below 50 is considered to be in the low category, which is recommended for a healthy diet. This low glycemic index rating also make it diabetic friendly.


Contains Inulin, a Prebiotic Fiber.Studies have shown Inulin, a prebiotic fiber, promotes the healthy function of your lower intestine. It has also been shown to promote regularity, boost the immune system, increase calcium absorption and increase bone density.More Satisfying and Great for Dieters.The combination of low GI and inulin make Xagave a very satisfying sweetener. Unlike sugar, honey or high fructose corn syrup, you'll find your blood sugar levels do not spike; thereby avoiding the highs and lows of sugar and corresponding cravings and over consumption associated with roller coaster blood sugar levels.


Versatile and Easy to Cook With. Xagave is highly soluble in hot or cold water, making it easy to work with in the kitchen. It is a wonderful sweetener for coffee, tea and cereal. It is also an amazing sweetener for cooking, canning and baking as evidenced by the highly-rated recipes in our cookbook "Delicious Meets Nutritious" for jams, cakes, breads, salad dressing, desserts, cookies and sauces. In addition, we provide on each bottle, our cookbook, and on our website a Sugar Exchange Table that shows how to use Xagave in any recipe -- it truly is the Complete Sugar Replacement.


Contains Calcium, Iron and other Vitamins and Minerals.Xagave is a natural and organic certified product, derived from the agave plant. The nectar is processed, in order to prevent fermentation, at temperatures that do not exceed 117°F which is considered "Raw" by most standards. It is not derived from an animal and is appropriate for a vegan diet. Due to its raw condition, Xagave retains its naturally occurring vitamins and minerals and has a particularly high concentration of calcium -- 17% of daily requirements in one (1) tablespoon.
