Years ago you read about a seed from a Mexican plant which was used as a sweetener NOT STEVIA Any one know what it is?

I don't know if this is the information you are looking for but it might be helpful. There is a cactus plant from Mexico called the blue agave plant. It is related to the lily and is usually found with cactus but it is not a cactus plant. It was considered a sacred plant but it is said that when the Spaniards arrived, they used it to make Tequila. However, manufacturers have found that it is naturally sweet and makes a wonderful replacement for sugar. It is 10% glucose and 90% fructose (a natural form). It does have calories but it is considered a low glycemic index food -- a food that doesn't stimulate insulin production. Hope this helps.
