Health Tips:-
♥ Biogreen O’Blue Organic Agave Nectar is 4 times sweeter than regular cane sugar, implying that less sugar is needed or used in a recipe to achieve the desired sweetness. Additionally, it has a low glycaemic index of 17, suggesting that it could help lowering the rise of blood glucose.
♥ Replacing eggs with ground flaxseed increases the plant-based omega-3, fibre and lignans, which are heart-friendly and delays gastric emptying, favouring better blood glucose control.
