Tastes great and good for special diets such as low acid or low sugar, etc.
I love light agave. I've been using it for years. I usually use it half and half with stevia/erythritol, because it masks the sugar substitute aftertaste most natural no-calorie sweeteners leave behind. This is also a good way to wean yourself off high glycemic sugars without sacrificing flavor. It does not really taste like honey. Or if it does, it is a very mild similarity. I find It is a little more like sugar (corn) syrup (karo, I think it's called). But agave is low glycemic so it won't spike your blood sugar like regular sugars, including honey, even though it technically has "sugars" in it. If you like the light agave, you'll probably like Madhava's flavored varieties as well. But if you have GERD or need to watch out for acid, make sure you read the labels, as some of the flavored agave syrups contain citric acid. The maple and amaretto do not. But I believe the blueberry and raspberry do. Agave and honey are both okay (in moderation) for GERD or other acid condition related diets, according to the book "Dropping Acid." But agave is better than honey as a sweetener because of its low glycemic impact on blood sugar. Personally, I like to buy good local honey and use it where I can taste it, on bread, pancakes, etc. I like agave for tea, teeccino and other low/no acid beverages and for baking, whenever sugar is called for in a recipe. Again, I use it half and half with stevia/erythritol. Erythritol is another natural no calorie sweetener. It is often added to stevia or monk fruit to balance out the flavors of these sweeteners. Unlike other no calorie natural sweeteners, like malitol, for instance, erythritol is easy on the digestive tract and should not cause any noticeable discomfort. Erythritol may be helpful for parents of children with diabetes, in particular, who still want chocolate and other sweets, but suffer from the side effects of most packaged sugar free foods. Whether you can cut it with this light agave is something to ask your doctor about. It depends on how much glycemic impact it will have on each individual. As far as I know, agave has been called "safe" for diabetics, but I believe it is something that needs to be monitored by the individual as it is technically a sugar.

Product great, definite value for money, vendor shipping needs work
Product is great, been using for over 3 years. At first was buying them at local grocery store, but then found could get better price by buying online. First few orders arrived perfectly, however last two deliveries had some serious issues with the package. Not sure if this happens at the Amazon warehouse or comes like this from the vendor. The box of 6 bottles was definitely NOT opened, and it came sealed inside bubble wrap package (almost like shrink wrapped). Last two orders after opening I had to wash individual bottle because syrup had leaked out ( similar to what is shown in picture) but definitely not from any of the bottles in the box. All still had the pull-off tab intact under cap. It’s a mystery to me as to how syrup spilled in the box, but none of the bottles were cracked, opened, or broken.

Wonderful sugar alternative
I use this to sweeten my tea and coffee. I have ordered it multiple times and I’m very pleased with the product.. if you’re looking for an alternative to sugar, this is a great sweetener.

Packaging
I love this product and have been ordering for years. But, lately the packaging is not good. There has been leaks or cracked bottles. I usually order the six pack and have to dispose of one or more.

Leaky bottles. Sticky mess.

My go to sweetener now.
I stopped using sugar and others artificial sweeteners in favor of the Agave syrup to help with my A1C as it has a very low glycemic index. Now I drink iced tea with a little agave instead of diet soft drinks. It has a slight honey tone and I don’t crave sweets anymore.

Something’s gone wrong with packing!!!
First of all, I have ordered this product through subscribe and save every month. I love the product itself. But something has gone horribly wrong in the last couple months with the packing of this product.I received this month’s package and there was white powder all over the bottles, they clearly leaked inside the box, I was actually could not even pull one bottle out of the box because they were cemented to the bottom, do much of the agave leaked out. Each of the bottles look like a quarter to a third of the contents were missing. And a white-ish film was on top of the remaining liquid in the bottles.I immediately submitted a replacement request. And received the replacement box in the EXACT same condition. And now cannot get a refund at all!!And the previous month, one bottle leaked and I just cleaned up the bottles and they were fine. Y to he packaging process is messed up. The black caps are not screwed on very tightly and the seal inside is not really affixed, half already peeling up.I love the product, but can no longer TRUST that they are packing safely. I’m contacting Amazon directly and am removing my subscribe & save subscription. Need to search again for a product that I can count on.

4 out of the six bottles had defective caps. I just put the agave in a different container.
