NOW Real Food Organic Agave Nectar Raw Blue Agave Amber Description
Known in Mexico as aguamiel, or "honey water", Agave Nectar was considered a gift from the gods by the ancient Aztecs, and today is considered nature's perfect sweetener by many. Agave Nectar (also called Agave Syrup) is minimally processed using low temperatures and has a low glycemic index.
NOW Real Food® Organic Amber Agave Nectar is a medium-intensity liquid sweetener with a taste closer to maple syrup. Its stronger flavor makes it ideal for use in more hearty culinary applications, and it's an excellent substitute for maple syrup. It dissolves quickly and easily in both hot and cold beverages, so use it right out of the bottle for a healthy splash of natural sweetness!

Cabbage Wraps with Almond-Agave Dressing
Salads get a bad rap. They may not be as comforting as mac and cheese or as convenient to take on the go as sandwiches, but they’re healthy and a great way to get greens into your diet. That’s why it’s important to make salads bright and vibrant, and to top them with flavorful dressings. Eating your favorite salad ingredients as a wrap is another way to make them more fun. Take this recipe, for instance. Peppers, carrots and sprouts are tossed into a purple cabbage leaf and drizzled with tangy almond butter dressing for a colorful handheld meal you're sure to get wrapped up in.
Cabbage Wraps with Almond-Agave Dressing
Ingredients
Almond Butter Dressing
3 Tbsp. raw almond butter
2 Tbsp. agave syrup
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
1-2 Tbsp. water
1 clove garlic, minced
Red pepper flakes, to taste
Wraps
3 large purple cabbage leaves
1 red bell pepper, sliced horizontally
2 cups alfalfa sprouts
½ yellow bell pepper, sliced vertically
½ cup carrots, shredded
? cup green onions
Hemp seeds, to top
Directions
- Prepare the almond butter dressing. In a small pot over medium heat, heat almond butter. Add in agave, soy sauce, vinegar, water, garlic and red pepper flakes and whisk continuously until smooth. Transfer to an airtight container. Dressing will thicken as it cools.
- To assemble the wraps, gently pull apart cabbage leaves. Place vegetables in the leaves, by first, adding sprouts and then layering peppers, carrots and onions. Top with hemp seeds.
- Drizzle each salad wrap with dressing.
