Agave syrup vs honey: nutrition compared
Agave syrup comes from the agave plant; honey is made by bees, so agave nectar is not honey. Per tablespoon, this agave record has about 64 calories and 14.1 g sugars, while the USDA honey record (FDC 169640) has about 64 calories and 17.2 g sugars in 21 g. Both count as added sugars when used in a packaged food. This page compares nutrition only and does not rate either as healthier.
Agave Syrup nutrition label for Canada, the EU and the UK
The same serving of agave syrup, drawn by the label formats other markets require: the Canadian bilingual Nutrition Facts table, the EU nutrition declaration (per 100 g, energy in kJ and kcal, salt instead of sodium) and the UK nutrition information table with reference intakes. The generator switches between these and many more from one recipe.

Source and method
Nutrient values are from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy (April 2018 release, public domain), record 170277: "Sweetener, syrup, agave". Values are stored per 100 g exactly as USDA reports them and scaled to each serving by weight. The Nutrition Facts panel applies the FDA rounding rules in 21 CFR 101.9; tables and text show the scaled amounts at reading precision, so a figure can differ slightly from the panel. A nutrient USDA does not report for this food is shown as not reported, never as a guessed value.
SR Legacy predates the added sugars field. All sugars in this food are counted as added sugars, as they would be on a label. View the USDA record ↗
