FAQ’s

Does Agave Nectar need to be refrigerated?  No.

What is the shelf-life?   Volcanic Nectar has a two year shelf life.

What's the difference between Dark, Light/Amber and Clear Agave?     Rumor has it that there are more minerals in the Dark versions of the agave so it is a healthier choice. The only difference we have tested when filtering the blue agave is that the dark versions have higher beta Carotenes. The taste is the other problem. In order to get the darker colors the agave must be heated longer and hotter which results in almost a burned taste. Other (lighter) color variations come from adding different ingredients (corn syrup) to the product. The best tasting and best for you version is definitely the amber goldish color.

Some great tips for substituting Agave for sugar in your favorite recipes: 

Cakes: One-half of the sugar in a cake recipe can be replaced with agave. For every 1 cup of sugar replaced, leave out 1/4 cup of liquid.

Cookies: The amount of sugar that can be replaced with agave varies with the kind of cookie being made. For brownies, half of the sugar can bereplaced with Agave Nectar. For fruit bars, agave can replace two-thirds of the sugar called for inthe recipe. Only one-third of the sugar can be replaced in gingersnaps.

When making either cakes or cookies, first mix the agave with the fat or the liquid. Then mix it thoroughly with the other ingredients. If this is not done, a soggy layer will form on the top of the baked product.

Products made with agave brown faster than foods made with other sweeteners. So when you bake products made with agave, set the oven temperature 25 degrees F lower than what is indicated in the recipe.
