8 Natural Sweeteners That Make It Easy to Cut Back on Sugar (5 of 5)

Agave Nectar

Agave nectar comes from the agave plant and has a smooth, mild sweetness that dissolves easily in cold liquids. It’s sweeter than table sugar, and that means you’ll need less of it. Agave works well for cocktails, iced teas, and fruit-based desserts. While it should be consumed in moderation, its clean flavor and ability to blend well into sauces and beverages make it a useful addition to a natural sweetener toolkit.
