Honey vs. Agave Nectar

Honey and agave nectar can be considered interchangeable in this book. Both are liquid sugars that are ideal for adding to vinaigrettes and things that don’t need cooking. Beware of substituting granulated sugar in raw recipes, as you may get a grainy texture, and definitely do not substitute agave nectar or honey in recipes that call for granulated sugar, especially when baking, as it may negatively affect the texture of the final product.
