The Weston A. Price quarterly journal recently featured an article on agave contrasting its modern and traditional forms and comparing it to other traditional sweeteners such as maple syrup. I was surprised to learn that agave is 98% fructose! Yes, this would land our beloved agave in the HFCS status (high fructose cactus syrup)! Do your own research on-line at the WAPF site. I can’t do the high fructose thing to my family.
Blessings!

I tried the Maple-Agave blend from Trader Joe’s just because it’s cheaper than the pure maple syrup. I’m switching from Aunt Jemima so I think it’s a step in the right direction as far as healthy goes, right?

My hippie friend just gave me a bottle of this stuff- LOVE it. I’ve been using it as a honey substitute in recipes, or as a sugar substitute. Sweet without being too sweet.
