My Top 3 Types Of Agaves That Are Safe For Diabetics
#3: Wholesome Sweeteners AgaveSitting on the Glycemic index with a 37 (Less than 55 is safe for Diabetics), the wholesome sweeteners is Cosco's choice of Agave Nectar.A big plus for this, is I was actually able to go to Cosco and get to small bottles of this stuff for $7.99. So the price is very low, even if you aren't buying in bulk. Of course, with the Glycemic index being so high, it does bring into question the purity of the product, but I've been using it for the last year and it hasn't brought me any trouble so far, so I will vouch for it here. #2: Madhava Agave NectarWith a Glycemic index of 32, the Madhava Agave nectar is definitely better for you than the Wholesome Sweeteners brand.Because Madhava spends more of their time on their types of Agaves (Wholesome Sweeteners is a large corporation, where Madhava specializes in Agave) the quality of the product is also better. I would recommend it overtop of the Wholesome Sweeteners brand, although I would not recommend it over our final brand choice, which is... #1: Volcanic Agave
With a whopping-low 27 on the Glycemic index, it is easily the purest and safest choice for your family. I personally buy quantities of this stuff in bulk. If you buy more than $170 approx from their website, you get a bulk price (Which I do). The only drawback is it is only available for online purchase, which may be a bonus for some (If you like ordering online, as it's convenient) but others may find that frustrating if they aren't used to ordering it online. Of course, their online website is 100% secure. My orders go through just fine, so that shouldn't be a worry for you. But other than that small negative (if online ordering is a problem for you), it is a perfect product for anyone with Diabetes, or anyone else looking to make a healthy lifestyle change. And it's perfect for baking too! Just measure it out the same amount you would for sugar (1 Cup of sugar = 1 Cup of Agave) and it should work fine. You can learn more about Agave Nectar here.
