For a natural alternative to sugar, try agave, which comes from the cactus plant. It’s available in two varieties: blonde and dark. Blonde agave can be compared to the color and taste of honey, while dark agave can be likened to the color and taste of maple syrup. Before tossing all of your sugar away, try incorporating agave into your recipes slowly, taking note of the flavors and textures that come through. Here, Sam Talbot offers his tricks on how to use the product.

Hi Sam, how do you balance agave with type 1 diabetes. Do you treat /bolus it the same as sugar or is is a slow release carb? Thanks. ( for my 4 yr old Ellie)
I’d love to put this in her cupcakes.
Hi Sharon, first things first, let me say that I am not a doctor and am not trying to give you medical advice. This is merely my opinion! Yes, Agave is a slow releasing carb so, while it does raise your blood sugar, it does it gradually making it much easier for your body to manage it and for you to regulate your sugar in time. You won’t see spikes in your blood sugar like you do with refined white sugar. -ST
