Agave nectar instead of honey? kritty180
  Jan 26 2008 20:42
For some reason, I really don't like honey. However, I'm looking for something to make my yogurt more interesting. What does agave nectar taste like? Is it more like a syrup?

Thanks!

I don't do sugar free stuff but I love agave nectar!  It is thick but not as thick as honey.  It has a nice sweet flavor, but not too sweet.  Give it a try!

I am with redkitty, I love agave nectar. I have had it in tea and it don't overwhelm the tea like honey or maple can do.  Agave is more of a subtle flavor. It is great in yogurt as well.

Also the sugar free syrups have some sort of sugar substitute in them, like aspertame or sucrlose, which are not good for you. The are finding out that aspertame is causing holes in the brain and when it comes in contact with metal and warmed up, it chemically turns to formaldhyde. Suclorse is a by product of antifreeze, so can't be really healthy for you.

Sugar free maple syrup is a crime. Pure REAL maple syrup is a great natural sweetener. I find agave nectar is just like liquid sugar. I've only used it in baking and it's a great sugar substitute.
