No! You know what's more hipster than quinoa?

[pedanticwench]

Does it make anyone else's mouth dry after awhile like it does with me?

[HiC]

I know! I agree. I'm going to switch to honey...I like the taste better.

[Marle]

I've heard since the hype that it really is not that good for you.

If I'm not vacationing in the desert, I pretend agave doesn't exist.

Calm down, Hickory Farms!

The only good use for agave results in tequila.

That's all I've got to say about that one.

Yes.

UNLESS IT'S IN THE FORM OF TEQUILA!

It's true. I will say, though, that making a mojito out of agave instead of sugar is damn delicious.

Well, I guess my mom is a hipster then, because she’s been using agave for years. I love it, but not necessarily for everything.

[scotty]

In all seriousness, I prefer regular, organic (!) sugar to agave, but I think agave has a lower glycemic index, so it's better for your pancreas. I think.

I've heard this too-- that healthwise, it's no better than other sweeteners (sugar is sugar). I think it caught on because it's vegan in a way that processed sugar (because of the bone char in some processing) and honey (b/c of bees) aren't.

I have a baaaaad relationship with tequila. I will only drink it on vacation (in a desert)

I don't like agave. I tried it once, admittedly after I heard Giada deLaurentis say she used it in her coffee. I should have known that Italian jerkface would lead me astray.

Spaghet-TI!
Rrrrricote- a!

LMAO! I'm not sure why I love this but I do.

I have one of her cookbooks. Her stuffed mushrooms ain't shit. But I make her marsala a few times a month.

Yep! Exactly what I've read.

[gretchenindisguise]

I used it for a while in my yogurt. It tasted pretty good.

[iamgrace]

I sometimes use it in iced coffee

I use it in baking some things

I like it for my margaritas. 2 ounces of lime juice, 2 ounces of silver tequila and 1/5 ounce of agave.

Yes. :drink:

You know what does that to me? Kamut. Any kamut baked good I buy at the fancy hippy bakery I love makes me feel like I have a dry plastic-y mouth afterwards.

What? Did someone say





Shit. Just. Got. REAL!
