Agave is a succulent plant from Mexico. One of the things it's used for is to make tequila, blue agave in particular. Agave nectar is a sweetener, suppose to be sweeter than honey.What exactly is agave, and where can I get it?
Agave is a plant.
The sweetener you get from it is called Agave Nectar. It can be a replacement for honey and syrup. It's not good for baked recipes, as it gives the food a heavy, and sometimes rubbery, consistency. Raw-food vegans often use it in their recipes, though.
You can find Agave Nectar in Trader Joes, and I do believe I've seen it in Whole Foods but I'm not sure.
I've actually seen it in a lot of grocery stores. I have access to several health food stores in a nearby big city so when I first started eating healthy I went there all the time and since then I've found most of the ingredients that I like to use at the regular grocery stores. And I live in kind of a small hick town, so that's saying a lot. They have five varieties of it at the local Meijers. I've also spotted it at Krogers too. I found it in the baking aisle with the sugar. I've also seen it in the diabetic food section (apparently a lot of diabetics use it because it causes less of a bloodsugar spike). If you can't find it in a grocery store, you can always order it online.What exactly is agave, and where can I get it?

you can buy it at health food stores, or maybe a hy-vee has it. it's a honey-like substance, a little runnier though.
Agave is somewhat like aloe. Here in Florida it is commonly used in landscaping. Agave nectar may be found in Hispanic / Latino grocery stores or in a health food store.What exactly is agave, and where can I get it?
Agave is natural sweetener, a healthier alternative to sugar. You can get some at trader joes- it looks like honey. It's really expensive and not that great though...
