This tastes great, I love it in my coffee, and have even used it for pancakes. It really doesn't give me a spike in blood sugar, as promised. The only negative is the packaging they are using. During shipping, some of the seals underneath the lids came off, and the bottles leaked. I probably lost about a tablespoon (each) from 3 of the 6 bottles. The lids don't really fit the bottles, either. They have a pop-top, but if you use it, the syrup sometimes leakes out from under the lid where it attaches to the bottle. If they could fix the bottles, this would definitely be a five-star product.

**Update** The product was not available for a few months, and when it came back--NEW PACKAGING!! My last shipment was sealed up tight. Five Stars for sure, but Amazon won't let me change that part.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best quality agave currently available, April 4, 2008
This review is from: Wholesome Sweeteners Organic raw blue agave, 23.5-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
Over the years I've done bulk buying for a housing cooperative and have dealt with wholesome sweeteners before - they sell everything from sucanat to organic corn syrup (blech). A lot of the other agave stuff on the market right now is simply from resellers trying to make a buck moving high margin natural foods products - this stuff is from a company that specializes in selling sweeteners and has a reputation for quality. You can't really beat it.

Uses: This stuff is perfect for tea - just a little bit takes the bitter edge off most black / green teas without overwhelming the flavor - and for making raw sweets. A lot of people like to use this stuff for baking, but I find it a bit expensive for this use - honey is cheaper and more readily available. This stuff is really healthy, but has to travel a lot of miles and uses a lot of packaging where both honey and maple syrup can be found locally in gallon jugs depending on where you live. Our coop actually buys honey in 60lb... Read more

Agave syrup (nectar) is basically high-fructose corn syrup masquerading as a health food.

Agave nectar has a low-glycemic index for one reason only: it's largely made of fructose, which although it has a low-glycemic index, is probably the single most damaging form of sugar when used as a sweetener. With the exception of pure liquid fructose, agave nectar has the highest fructose content of any commercial sweetener.

All sugar -- from table sugar to HFCS (high-fructose corn syrup) to honey -- contains some mixture of fructose and glucose. Table sugar is 50/50, HFCS is 55/45. Agave nectar is a whopping 90 percent fructose, almost -- but not quite -- twice as high as High Fructose Corn Syrup!!!!

Based on the labeling, I could picture native peoples creating their own agave nectar from the wild agave plants. Surely, this was a traditional food, eaten for thousands of years. Sadly, it is not.

Native Mexican peoples do make a sort of sweetener out... Read more
