Agave Nectar

by Helena Reimer
nectar can be labeled as a raw and natural sweetener.
Agave is produced and sold in light, amber and dark colors. The lighter colored agave
has a lighter taste, while the darker colored will have a stronger taste. Flavored
agave nectar is also available and comes in flavors such as vanilla, amaretto, ginger,
walnut, strawberry mango, cappuccino, hazelnut and Irish cream. (mmm)
Unlike honey, it will not crystalize and has a shelf life of up to 12 months after
opening.
It is a good source of calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium. It has a low
glycemic index, and it does not create a sugar rush like other sweeteners. It also
helps to improve the functioning of the gallbladder by helping to break down fats.
It is a great substitute for sugar and can be used anywhere where you would use
sugar, including all drinks, smoothies, jams, sauces, and even in your baking. It is
also great for drizzling over your favorite deserts, fruit salads, pancakes, waffles, raw
cacao, and nuts.
So if you love sweets, try substituting agave for sugar for a healthier diet.
