Anyone tried this in recipes? I've heard about it before but never tried it, since reading some vegan/veggie blogs I've been seeing it as a sugar replacement in baking etc.
"Agave Nectar is a wonderful healthy alternative to sugar and sweeteners in all kinds of recipes. As a general guide ¼- ½ cup of Groovy Food Agave Nectar can be substituted for 1 cup of sugar in recipes, the only difference is you may have to reduce your liquid slightly in recipes. (As a rough weight guide this works out as 90g – 170g Agave Nectar to 200g caster sugar). It is a great alternative to sugar especially for children, for people on a low GI diet or wanting to stabilize their blood sugar levels and including people with diabetes (Type II) or insulin resistance. " I found this company, Groovy Food that sells it here in the UK.
