Madhava's Raw Agave Nectar is a delicious low glycemic natural sweetener from the agave plant. Its light flavor does not interfere with any other flavors and it can be used in cooking, unlike artificial sweeteners that lose their sweetness when heated. It is an excellent alternative for people who wish to limit their intake of sugar and sugar substitutes.

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Agave taste exactly like sugar! I've made muffins and cookies and use it insted of syrup on pancakes. YOu might have to experiment when using this in baking. Most cooks use 1-2 cup - 3/4 cups agave for every 1 cup sugar listed in a recipe. I usualy try 3/4 and adjust from there.

The best part is that Amazon offers this product cheaper than anywhere else. I usally pay $5.29 at the health food store for the same size bottle!

This is the best sweetner I ever tasted. Its all natural organic, unprocessed, in the Raw, from nature, from the earth. I love sweetness! I put a little of this in my oatmeal in the morning, my brown rice (which I make by the bucket), in tea, and coffee. You can also use it as a substite of 3/4 cup for 1 cup of sugar in any recipe(see "Great American Detox Diet"). What's best about it is not only is this a healthy altenative to sugar but it has vitamins and minerals in every serving. Use this instead of sugar and your body will thank you.

I looked at buying a competing product after they ran this company down due to claiming their product was inferior. I called the root supplier in Mexico and they were kind enough to send me a DVD with documentation on the low Glycemic testing and how they process their product. This is all I needed to buy and relish this product. You can really save some money here compared to buying it in a local store...

What is going on with Amazon's packaging? When I first started purchasing this item a while back, they would shrink wrap the entire set of 12 bottles together before putting them in the box. Now, it seems as though they just throw them in there. A few of the bottles leaked. It wasn't a crazy amount of leakage, but is it really that much more difficult to send these things through the shrink wrapper before shipping them to ensure that they arrive without this problem? This is still a good product. It's still at a price that's cheaper than I could get in the stores, but it won't be worth it if I don't get what I ordered, because half of it has leaked out. The product itself gets 5 stars, but Amazon's packaging really leaves a lot to be desired these days. 3 stars overall.

Would you believe that there are people paying more than $10.00 for a 17 oz bottle of raw agave syrup when you can get the Madhava at such a great price. Thanks Greg for doing such a great job.

Good product, a little goes a long way in my tea. Healthier than sugar, cheaper than honey... well it used to be. I passed out a few bottles to friends who are also tea lovers, and came back here to re-order.

I ordered this in September 2007 and it was a 12 pack for almost 10$ less than the 6 pack is now in December. What gives?

I am so pleased with Madhava's raw, organic agave nectar. The flavor is light, the sweetness is much healthier than sugar, and it's easy to use. When I baked with it, I just lowered the heat in the oven by 25 degrees F, and cut all the liquids by 1/3. It's great on pancakes and French toast -- even diluted with a bit of water because it has the consistency of honey. This is great pricing as well!

This is an excellent product, very sweet, no aftertaste (like honey or maple syrup). I use it in cooking (frostings, baked goods, etc.) or to sweeten drinks (cocoa, tea, coffee). The only drawback is the price, however, thanks to a recent deal on amazon, I bought a pack of 12 at a very reasonable price, saving more than half on what I would have spent at the store.

This is not a bad product but the shipping dept has a long way to go in the quality control section. Ordered 12 bottles but only 11 arrived full and the last was empty. Box was dripping. Don't think I'll order from here again. Maybe try local.
