Guest guest Posted October 27, 2000 Report Share Posted October 27, 2000 i just bought a bottle of Sweet Cactus Farms organic Agave Nectar. it is a liquid sweetener, comes in an 8 oz bottle for about $2.50. it is a bit thinner in consistency than honey, same color. it tastes really sweet. the label says you use in place of sugar and honey in food and beverage, but you use 25% LESS for equal sweetness. when baking you replace 1 cup sugar with 3/4 cup agave, and reduce recipe liquids by 1/3, and temp of oven by 25 degrees. serving size 1 tsp cal 16 fat 0 sodium 5mg carb 5g sugar 5g protein 0g - " Margaret Stephens " <thomasstephens Friday, October 27, 2000 12:46 PM Re: Powdered Sugar > , " Brandel D.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2000 Report Share Posted October 31, 2000 My wife and I use a lot of stevia. For us, the best type comes liquified in a small bottle with a squeeze dropper. It is entirely an organic herb and is potent stuff. We use it mainly in sauces, dressings, soups, stews, but have not tried it in desserts where we still use granulated sugar.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 I just had a look at my brown rice syrup bottle, and it says that it is much less sweet than honey or maple syrup, so sweetness itself would be a factor in that substitution. Another consideration... honey is an animal-product. A liquid sweetener I like very much is *agave syrup*. If you can get this in your health food store... it has a very pleasant flavour, is the consistency of liquid honey and is as sweet; it is nectar from the agave cactus. It is slow to digest, so easy on blood sugar. :-) Deborah I've never tried anything else, but I would imagine that honey would work, since it's a similar consistency. Maple syrup is much thinner so you might have to adjust the dry ingred. a little, but I imagine that it would work as well. Dawn > Do you know if you could use something besides the brown rice syrup?

There are ways to pull away from the the craving for sugar (not 'need' I think) - that is to say added sugar. Many foods have sugar in them in their natural state - and unless one has a serious health problem that proscribe their ingestion, I see no harm in eating carrots, tomatoes, fresh fruits of various kinds, etc. etc. in moderation.
