Organic, Agave Nectar - Light, 11.75-Ounce Squeeze Bottles (Pack of 12)

I adore this light version of the Madhava agave because it is so versatile. I use it in hot and cold drinks to sweeten without any sort of aftertaste. It mixes easily into both. It is the perfect compliment to tea or coffee, especially yummy in a vanilla rooibos! I also use it in place of sugar in various recipes, especially any dressings. I prefer it to honey because it does not crystallize and it has a very low gycemic index. When you eat honey it is like injecting sugar straight into your bloodstream but agave, while high in fructose, is slowly released into the bloodstream so you don't have that after sugar crash. Use the amber variety in place of maple syrup but use this light version for any other type of sweetening! From one sweet tooth to another, agave will satisfy! I'm off to make some tea...

Never heard of it. Did some research and decided to try it. Extremely satisfied with my choice! I went for the "Light" version since my research mentioned that it was the one with no strong after-taste. Much better, natural choice than artificial sweeteners. Does have calories, but the glycemic index response is very good; translation: it doesn't give you that "sugar rush". I like things fairly sweet, so I use 2-3 teaspoons per cup of coffee. You may need less. DEFINITELY get the 12 pack!!! Best value and you'll be amazed at how much you start using it!

I am very displeased that the amazon description says this is raw and in reality the label on the bottle is regular agave nectar and is not specified as raw. It was a waste of time to order something I thought was raw and isn't. It has to go back. Amazon needs to change the description because it is simply not true.

They have this listed as RAW. It is not raw and should not be listed as such. There is nothing wrong with it. To be considered raw it should not be heated above about 115 degrees, I believe that is the correct number. Amazon should change the label on this. They used to sell the RAW kind and for some reason, it is not available. The title is therefore misleading.

I am used to ordering a large 2 pack of raw agave, but since it is (or was) not available, I ordered this. It is just regular organic agave, not the raw stuff. It still tastes great, but I recently read that if agave is heated over a certain temperature it can be as bad for you as HF corn syrup. Because of this I am rating it a 3...I thought it would be raw.

Updated Nov. 2008 -- believe it or not, the last two shipments I received do NOT have the impossible-to-open seal! So the company DOES listen to their customer's comments! I wish I could change my rating to 5 stars.... Original review: The only reason for giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is that they've changed the seal and it is now almost impossible to get the new seal off! I've contacted them but I doubt they'll listen. That said, I've just started a subscription for this because, inspite of the seal, it has replaced sugar in our house. It has virtually no taste (we use it in everything -- coffee, mixed drinks, dessert sauces, etc...), it dissolves instantly, and has a low glycemic index which means fewer hot flashes. We (family of 2) go through about one bottle a week. The Amazon price, especially if you subscribe or have prime shipping, is the lowest I've found.

My search for a non-bitter (stevia), non-artificial, non-refined sugar sweetner is over at last! I hesitated to buy this because of the requirement to buy 12. Boy, am I glad I did buy the whole box! We use this in everything, including baking, and find that it has a really good taste. Most sweetners ruin the taste of our fine coffees, but the agave simply supplies sweetness. We'll be trying the amber agave next in hopes of a heartier sweetness for winter baked goods.

I love this product. I use it primarily to sweeten my coffee and will expand my uses of it soon. I was using sugar to sweeten my coffee b/c I really do not like artificial sweeteners. Stevia had an aftertaste that I didn't like with coffee. This has no aftertaste and it does not cause me to crave other sugary things. When I use sugar in my coffee, I crave sweet treats to accompany the coffee...I don't have that craving with the agave nectar.
