This blog post about agave nectar being processed by the body like high fructose corn syrup sounded scary, but it does seem to be the new "it" sweetener with raw vegans. It has 16g carbs per tablespoon.

Thanks for the interesting posts on Agave nectar Kallyn and lcstudent. I wonder where I got the idea that it was closer to honey. I guess I'll go back to gently warming my honey enough to blend properly!
My raw unfiltered honey tends to crystalize at the speed I'm not using it at. Its hard to use that way, but I don't want to heat it enough to damage the enzymes... |
