Agave nectar has the same
nutritional value as honey but offers a few advantages.
It has a
lower glycemic index which means that it does not trigger fat storage like honey
does. It also does not bring with it the stronger flavors of honey, just
contributing sweetness.
You may substitute 3 Tablespoons of honey in this
recipe. |
