About Sweetener, syrup, agave
Agave syrup is a liquid sweetener derived from agave plants, composed mostly of fructose and glucose. It became popular as a lower-glycemic sugar alternative, though that framing has been heavily debated - the high fructose content means the liver processes it differently than glucose, which has its own implications. Fat is negligible, protein is essentially absent, and fiber is minimal. The flavor is mildly sweet and less distinctly flavored than honey or maple syrup, which makes it easy to dissolve into drinks or use in baking without adding competing notes. It's a processed sugar, dressed up in a natural-sounding package.
