Agave Nectar Sticks with a Low Glycemic Index

PORTLAND, OR -- Looking for a natural alternative to sweeten your tea? The Stash Tea Company now offers Agave Nectar Sticks, a sweetener made from the juice of the agave plant. Familiar in its ornamental varieties throughout the Southwest, the wild agave is the source for Stash Tea's Agave Nectar Sticks. Wild agave is related to the blue agave, famous for another contribution to the beverage world - namely, tequila. Although agave nectar is tamer than its more well-known cousin, its characteristics are worth noting.

For example, agave nectar is about 25 percent sweeter than sugar so less is needed to achieve a satisfying result. With its low glycemic index, agave nectar absorbs slowly into the bloodstream with less of the highs and lows associated with sugar intake. Under medical supervision, agave nectar may be suitable for diabetics. And, agave nectar is a vegan friendly honey substitute with a consistency similar to honey.

Stash Tea's Agave Nectar Sticks come in convenient stir-stick servings of approximately 1/2-teaspoon which can be conveniently carried in a purse or pocket. Just pop open one end to stir this natural sweetener into your tea.

Agave Nectar Sticks are available through Stash Tea's mail order catalog (1-800-826-4218) and online at www.stashtea.com. The cost is $4.50 per box of 20 plus shipping and handling charges.
