My Review Of Madhava Agave NectarThere are many different brands of agave nectar, so I thought I would take a look at Madhava Agave Nectar and see where it sits in comparison the the other brands out there.
The glycemic index is one of the most important things to consider when choosing an Agave Nectar brand, because the lower the Glycemic index, the safer it is for Diabetics. A person with Type 2 Diabetes can only handle eating foods with less than 55 on the Glycemic index. So you can see how important it is for Diabetics to be aware of this in the food they eat. So that makes Madhava fairly safe to eat for diabetics! As For The Taste?As for the taste, Madhava tastes very similar to honey, in fact, other than the way it makes you feel (Honey makes you feel very "sugary") you might not even be able to tell the difference. PurityMadhava is not an Agave brand that I would consider to be "pure". There are very few manufacturers in the world that create a pure agave product (possibly only 1). Why else would it have a higher Glycemic index than the Volcanic Nectar brand? Wouldn't there have to be some sort of impurity or refining process that causes that to happen? It's actually a really decent way to measure whether or not an Agave is pure or not. Seeing as though the Volcanic Nectar has a low 27 on the GI, it is the lowest GI Agave available. This makes it the perfect product to set the standard, to which all others are measured. And it lets me know that Madhava is not a pure Agave. It's a good product, but I still wouldn't recommend it over the Volcanic Agave nectar because of the higher Glycemic index. If You Haven't Done So Already:

First things first, Madhava sits on the Glycemic index with a 32. Now although this is better than the wholesome sweeteners brand that has a Glycemic index of 37-45, it still doesn't compare with the Volcanic Agave Nectar that has a Glycemic index of 27.
