Something sweeter than honey? Agave Nectar (also called agave syrup) is a sweetener that is sweeter than honey and has a thinner consistency. In fact, agave nectar is substituted for sugar or honey in recipes. In particular, vegans commonly use agave nectar to replace honey. This agave syrup is derived from the sap of the blue agave plant (Agave Tequilana Weber). Agave syrup has a mild, sweet flavor with caramel notes, making it versatile for various culinary uses. Also used as a sweetener for cold beverages such as iced tea as it can dissolve rapidly. Can be used in baking recipes, marinades, dressings, and sauces.
