Agave nectar

What is that and what is it used in? Is it a sweetener? Where do you buy it? THanks.

It is like honey you can use it in anything you use honey or sugar in like tea, on a grapefruit on pancakes or waffles... It also comes in different flavors. I get it at the regular grocery store.

We use it as a sweetner. Add it to plain fat free yogurt for a nice sweet taste. Can use in coffee too. We buy it in the peanut butter and jelly section at Safeway. It should be with the honey.

I use it instead of honey for everything... its great in yogurt, tea, baked goods... Also really great in beef stews that I put in the slow cooker.

I bought some at my local grocery store. Sometimes you can find it with the organic foods or you can find it with the honey. It is a sweetner. There was a little tif a little while ago whether it was a natural sweetner or not, but the blogger was grouping all Agave Nectar together. There are different brands and different types. The brand that was actually not natural is no longer being created.

I use Madhava Agave Nectar 100% pure sweetner. Its organic with no additives and preservatives.

All Agave nectar is processed. It is nothing like honey. The agave plant is not sweet until it is processed to remove the fructose.

If Agave nectar wasn't processed it would ferment and turn into tequila in our cupboards.

And I can keep adding more articles. There is no such thing as organic Agave nectar.
