I was wondering if any of you have tried agave nectar for a sweetner. I have been considering ordering some and looking for some feedback! :D

M.E.H.

Yes, I use it for canning and baking. My daughter uses it in her coffee.

I was wondering about taste compared to sugar or other sweetners...... :D

I make lemonade with it and today I used it to make rice krispie bars instead of marshmallow. I love it. I get it at Costco.

I have used it and have had different reactions from family members. One says it has a "funny" after taste, another says it is not sweet enough. It is much like honey but not as sweet. You can use it anywhere you use honey. It is definitely worth trying.

I buy it at walmart. I like it. It won't raise blood sugar levels!

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.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!! DH is diabetic and we use it in recipes to replace sugar and for syrup sandwiches( peanut butter & syrup)and popcorn balls. To me it taste like a mild corn syrup. In tea it takes a little more than you think to sweeten it.

I love the maple flavor! We use it instead of maple syrup.

We also use the regular agave as a sweetener and in some baking.
