    I like agave better. Honey grosses me out. Doesn't help also that I'm vegan LOL.

    Both work the same! Honestly it's really whatever you would prefer.

    I've heard agave necture creates a larger blood sugar spike. If that something that your concerned about.
    I prefer honey.

    Depends on how much you like honey, since I think that it has the more distinct flavor of the two, whereas agave nectar, depending on what kind you get, can pretty much just taste like brown sugar.

    I'm all about local, raw honey! Different varieties have different flavors, but I'm sure agave would be great, too.

    I prefer Agave, but I use less of it than is suggested when I sub it for sugar in recipes and make up for the liquid loss by adding water.

    Hmm... decided to go with Honey because there were no local Agave options.... Hope I picked the right one tho... there were 3 different ones so I picked clover which is the most common... other options were Sourwood and Spring Wildflower.. we'll see how it comes out ;)
