This is the word of the week on one of my favourite radio programmes. And what did I think when I heard this word – Agave Nectar. And why? Well, mellifluous means honey-like and that is exactly what agave nectar is. It’s produced from the agave plant, found in Mexico. It’s the perfect substitute for honey or sugar and much healthier in that it doesn't affect your blood sugar in such a way, so it’s great for vegans and people watching their weight, especially those on low-GI or low-GL diets. I use it to replace sugar or golden syrup in baking and actually find it can improve the consistency or try adding to porridge or coffee.
At last, a quality quarterly magazine for everything food & drink related.
We made edible for you because we hope to inspire people of
Brighton & Hove to keep it local and eat sensibly.
