Yesterday I went grocery shopping with my husband. Our strategy is divide and conquer to get through the aisles quicker. I made my usual trip down the baking needs aisle I perused their options of alternate sweeteners. I scanned past the Truvia and Nectresse as I am pretty sure anything white and crystalline is refined. Then I saw Agave Nectar on the top shelf. It seemed fitting. Agave is used to make Tequila and good Tequila is kept on the top shelf so it can't be bad right? But as I reached for it I saw light Agave Nectar and dark Agave Nectar. I drew my hand back. "Which do I choose?" I reach back up and turn the bottles around. They have the same ingredients and same number of calories. Something seemed fishy. I eyed them suspiciously. The light and dark bottles stood there stoically, but they gave up no secrets. They looked a little too similar to the light and dark corn syrup bottles. I decided to pass them off and instead reached for two boxes of Sugar in the Raw, confident that I made the right choice. But even as I placed them in my cart I wondered what exactly made Sugar in the Raw different than brown sugar, or better than anything else. I then went home to get serious with research.
