agave nectar where to find it?

Hi

I had a look in the local supermarkets no joy - I could not even find anyone who could say if the kept it.

what area in a supermarket is it kept in??

Sainsburys have it in stock (our local one on the Hankeridge Estate Park in Taunton anyway). It's kept by the honey, golden syrup etc.

This is the one Sainsbury's sell, or you can buy it one-line here:http://www.groovyfood.co.uk/thingswemake/agavenectar.html

There is some controversy because of the way it is made and some is high concentration fructose so it may affect your BG levels.

Some super markets sell it as do health food shops.
Another tastier and low GI sweetener is Sweet Freedom.
http://www.sweetfreedom.co.uk/ Holland and Barrett sell it 🙂

Try looking nr the honey section for algave nectar or even the sugar section.

They stock it in Waitrose as well - in the cooking bit with the flour and dried fruit. That said though, I bought a bottle and the couple of times I used it my levels shot up. The agave went to the back to the cupboard and I stuck with Splenda 🙂

Our local Tesco stock it but they have it with all the "free from" foods.
