Key Ingredient:
Agave Nectar -Young Living uses an exclusive blend of two Agave plant varieties. Production begins by using only totally organically grown Agave. The heart of the Agave plant is then chopped, ground, and pressed for its juices without the use of heat or chemicals. The resulting liquid is slowly heated, breaking down the long chains of sugars into single molecules, primarily consisting of fructose. The result is a viscous, honey-like fluid that is shelf stable. Agave nectar is completely organic in its growth and processing.
