TRIED THIS?
Agave nectar adds
honeylike sweetness to a variety of dishes.
Made from the agave plant, (which is also
used to make tequila), it’s up to three times
sweeter than sugar and has fewer calories.
Generally, darker grades of syrup have
bolder caramel/honey flavor. Try it brushed
on salmon and sprinkled with cracked black
pepper, or stir a teaspoon of nectar into
coffee and tea. Wholesome Sweeteners
