Agave and the Vegetarian Diet

Agave is a sweet syrup derived from the sap of the agave plant, primarily the Blue Agave, which is also used to make tequila. It is often marketed as a natural alternative to sugar and is popular due to its lower glycemic index compared to regular sugar. However, agave syrup is high in fructose, which can be problematic for individuals with fructose malabsorption or those following a low FODMAP diet.
