Kbart64 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I am confused about Agave. While out shopping I bought bottle of Unsweetened Organic Lemon Rose water to drink. The ingredients were.. Purified Water, Lemon essence, Rose essence and agave necter My shopping companion checked what Agave necter was and what she found was it was just cactus juice. It was organic...So I went for it Later while trying to find out if I could order the drink on Amazon..... I Iooked it up further and found it is actually used as a sweetener So now I am confused.... would it be considered just a mixed juice drink? compliant? non-compliant? Help!!

ArtFossil Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 My opinion is it's a sweetener so it's not compliant. Juice is discouraged for drinking on a Whole30, although many of us drink Lacroix or other "naturally flavored" and unsweetened fizzy waters. It's best to drink water. Put your own splash of lime or lemon in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted January 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 25, 2017 Good catch. Agave is a sweetener, despite the misleading label. Here's the guide to sneaky sugars: http://whole30.com/downloads/whole30-sugar.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
