What is Agave?

Hosted by Kelly Keough

Kelly Keough
Agave has an extremely low glycemic index. Along with stevia, it's one of Kelly's favorite sweeteners, and an essential staple of a gluten-free, sugar-free pantry. But where does it come from? In this segment, Kelly meets with Mike Romero, from the California Cactus Center to learn more about her favorite sweetener, and finds out a few interesting facts. For one an agave plant can grow up to 7 feet high and 10 to 12 feet wide. Hint: If you're extra ambitious, you can also harvest the agave plant to make your own tequila!
