Vegan honey substitute from Madhava
Like honey, but respect animals too? If you don't like the thought of stealing from the bees, and the idea of clipped wings and end-of-season culls leaves you cold, then you may be interested in Madhava's Organic Agave Nectar... Perfect slathered onto a thick slice of wholemeal toast, or stirred into a steaming bowl of porridge, it provides the ideal bee-friendly honeylike accompaniment to your food.
It's good for you, too - agave nectar boasts a lower glycemic index than most other natural sweeteners on the market. It can also, like honey, be used as a sugar substitute in most recipes. Just use 1/3 cup of agave syrup for every whole cup of sugar in the original recipe, and reduce the quantity of liquids used in the recipe accordingly. Madhava's Organic Agave Nectar is available from VeganEssentials.com .
