The consistency is thinner than honey and I think it tastes funny (my son likes it). It WILL raise blood sugar because it is a sugar so please don't think it is sugar free. It just metabolizes a little differently from sucrose. You should be able to find it in most supermarkets these days. Lots of people love the stuff but I don't. It triggers migraines in me.
Oh, and you can get flavored agave nectar down here (vanilla, cinnamon, etc.). If you can't find it, I'll send you the website.
