Review of 'Madhava' Agave Nectar (Amber)

Madhava -- Agave Nectar (Amber) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: The texture is light, not overly thick or heavy (pretty much like maple syrup). It's nice and sweet, though a wee less so than pure maple syrup and honey. Baking with this is great! I substitute it for sugar all the time to make awesome low-calorie (agave is sweeter than sugar), sugar-free, diabetic-friendly cakes. I buy this on the regular and highly recommend it.

Where to buy: Bulk Barn, Fortinos


Ingredients: 100% pure agave nectar.

Agave comes from the natural juice of the agave plant. It's 100% pure and my favourite part is that it doesn't turn hard or crusty in the bottle!

Check out Madhava's recipe page here. There's a recipe for Chocolate Syrup that I'm hoping to try soon. There's also: Banana Bread, Caramel Apple Pie, Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Streusel Coffee Cake!
