Tasty sweetener without weird ingredients
I have been on a mission to eliminate ALL “high fructose corn syrup - HFCS” from my diet. This includes other forms like dextrose and sucrose.FYI - our bodies cannot identify HFCS as food so it treats it as a foreign substance, locking it up and storing it as fat. If you doubt me, it’s easy to verify. Most counties have made HFCS illegal, but not here in the US. The FDA says it’s fine. It’s not. It’s a big factor in the obesity epidemic in the states.I decided to try Agave Syrup as an alternative, and it’s delicious!! I’m on my 2nd bottle. I highly recommend it if you are trying to eat healthier but still want a touch of sweetness to your smoothie or fruit salad.(I know many of us love canned sodas. I do. Unfortunately, there are not many choices that DO NOT have HFCS. Pepsi has a version out that clearly says on the packaging “Made From Pure Cane Sugar” and Amazon Fresh usually has it in stock.)Stay healthy!! Enjoy this tasty syrup!!

Really good syrup
I really like this syrup for pancakes. It is light & flavorful. I had the same problem I have had lately with Amazon shipping things in envelopes so they arrive broken & the lid to this was in several pieces but i put foil on the top since I will use it before it goes bad.

Best sweetener you can buy
I discovered this sweetener a couple of months ago and have been a huge fan ever since. I have tried stevia, Splenda, and any other sweetener that claims to taste "just like sugar" and always find that they do not, in fact taste anything like sugar. I am not one of those supertasters either, but I definitely am one of those people who never drinks diet soda or any food that has been processed to make it lower in fat or calories. They never taste right, so because of a fundamental unwillingness to compromise flavor, I believe that it is better to eat less of something than load up on chemicals. Blue Agave nectar is absolutely as close to sugar in taste as you can get without actually being sugar. It is low in calories, tastes like sugar, is natural and has a low GI index. The only things I have used it in so far are coffee and ice tea and for these things, it is perfect. I cannot vouch for how it stands up in baked goods but I am going to be trying that soon.

Good for Some Things, Not So Much for Others
I bought this because I'm trying to find a decent alternative to Splenda that I can use in beverages and baking.I drink LOTS of iced tea, all year round and that's primarily what I hoped to use this for. Unfortunately, I did not like the taste of it in my beloved iced tea. I admit I'm picky about my iced tea and this just didn't taste good to me.It's pretty good in hot teas and I made an apple cake that was heavenly! I'd recommend using the tartest apples you can find such as granny smith because the recipe called for one cup of sugar and I used only a scant half cup of the agave, it was plenty sweet. When I make the recipe again, I'll use slightly less.I made peanut butter oatmeal cookies and they were good but I did notice that the bottoms brown MUCH MUCH faster when I use this syrup than when I use Splenda. I'd definitely recommend using insulated cookie sheets or slightly lowering the oven temp for cookie recipes. Also though my recipe calls for creamy peanut butter, next time I'll use crunchy because the cookie batter was pretty sticky which can also cause the bottoms to brown faster. To "fix" the cookie batter I made, I added chopped peanuts and that seemed to help.I also made banana bread with this and usually my banana bread (made with half whole wheat flour and half white flour) has a pretty dense texture. Using this syrup made it have a "fall apart" density/texture which sort of annoyed me though it did have a good flavor. Next time I'll try using slightly less and see if that doesn't help it hold together more.The downside to this syrup is that I, like many other reviewers, received one bottle that had leaked and WHAT A HORRIBLE MESS! Also the bottles are just wrong. The opening causes drips and no matter how hard I tried not to let it, it would always drip down the side of the bottle and required wiping off with a wet paper towel. I didn't see on the bottle if this required refrigeration after opening or not. I just refrigerated just in case and it fell over inside my refrigerator and though the cap was tightly screwed on and closed, it leaked in there too and was a big pain to clean off the glass shelf and I cannot imagine the nightmare if you have the open wire kind of shelves because at least it was contained on just one shelf in my fridge.Bottom line: Unfortunately, I still like the taste of Splenda better though I'm afraid it's not good for me and also, the agave is NOT portable and cannot really be taken with you easily to use away from home. I would buy this again to use in baking but will continue to search for something else to use in beverages.

Best discovery I've made in a long time
I stumbled across this product in my grocery. I've been concerned that I'm using too much artificial sugar substitute, so was looking for an alternative that was hopefully natural. I tried Stevia, but something just wasn't quite right with the taste. Someone else finally nailed the reason for me....there is a mild licorice taste to Stevia, and I HATE licorice. I tried the light Blue Agave and LOVE it. There are so many great things about this product: taste is great, low glycemic index effect, and it's all natural. I use it in my tea, greek yogurt, and on top of waffles. It's very sweet, so you don't have to use much. It tastes like a mild honey to me. I am so pleased with the product that I ordered the cookbook. I purchased it from Amazon in bulk, because it's a much better price than the grocery. This is now a staple in my kitchen cabinet. Thank you, thank you to the manufacturer, and to Amazon.

Use it instead of sugar. It is great. Cannot tell the difference.
It’s a great replacement for sugar.I bake with it and cook with it also.
