Tequila Blanco Is Made From 100% Blue Agave
When it comes to tequila there are 5 different types that you should be aware of: blanco, reposado, añejo, extra añejo, and cristalino. Now that you know its varieties, it’s time to focus on the cream of the crop when it comes to health, tequila blanco. Unlike other varieties, this type is made from 100% blue agave, and is unaged and bottled immediately after production. This means that it retains higher levels of fructose, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than other types of tequila. Furthermore, it has a lower concentration of congeners (the chemical compounds produced during fermentation) which have been associated with hangover symptoms.
Tequila Blanco Has Fewer Calories
Tequila blanco also contains fewer calories per serving than other tequilas, making it a good choice for those looking to maintain their calorie intake while still enjoying an alcoholic beverage. Additionally, tequila blanco has a lower ABV (alcohol by volume) than aged or flavored variants such as reposado or añejo. This makes it less likely to cause intoxication when consumed in moderation.
In Conclusion
While all types of tequila offer some health benefits, tequila blanco is the clear winner due to its pure ingredients and lack of additives. Not only does it provide antioxidants that can help protect against disease, but it also contains fewer calories and less alcohol than other varieties – making it one of the most nutritious alcoholic drinks around. In fact, many experts even recommend mixing the spirit with sparkling water or fresh juices for an added dose of vitamins and minerals – making for a guilt-free indulgence every now and again!
