Extracted from 100% Organic Blue Tequilana Weber Agave. This species of blue agave is well known for its use in the production of premium tequila and agave nectar (a naturally low glycemic index sweetener) and is also an excellent source for Inulin. The Inulin is extracted from the blue agave plant through a gentle enzymatic process. To produce 1 pound of Inulin, 6 pounds of agave are required.

Organic Inulin from agave has the added benefit of being very soluble in cold water, meaning it can be incorporated into beverages, baked goods, dairy products and substitute for the properties of fat without the high calories.
