Agave Nectar is a wonderful healthy alternative to sugar and sweeteners in all kinds of recipes.  As a general guide ¼- ½ cup of Groovy Food Agave Nectar can be substituted for 1 cup of sugar in recipes, the only difference is you may have to reduce your liquid slightly in recipes.  (As a rough weight guide this works out as 90g – 170g Agave Nectar to 200g caster sugar).  It is a great alternative to sugar especially for children, for people on a low GI diet or wanting to stabilize their blood sugar levels and including people with diabetes (Type II) or insulin resistance. 

Groovy Food Agave Nectar makes an excellent ingredient to all sorts of recipes including pancakes, cereal bars, drinks, desserts, cereals, milkshakes, breads, biscuits, syrups, sauces and even preserves. It’s also equally delicious in savoury dishes such as marinades, dressings, sauces, soups, casseroles and bakes.
