Just 40 calories per tablespoon serving, the product has a mildly sweet quality and can also used be used in culinary applications including baking and thickening.
VivAgave(R) is a front-runner in the prebiotic movement using organic blue agave. Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that stimulate the growth beneficial digestive bacteria in the body. Nutritional scientists cite two particular fructooligosaccharides that fully meet the definition of a prebiotic: oligofructose and inulin, both naturally occurring in plants.
