Suzanne's "Just Like Honey" Rice Nectar

[SallyK]

I just have to say that this stuff is soooo awesome. I bought a jar at our new local vegan boutique, Fast and Furless, and had some on pancakes this morning. :drool: :lick: It's incredible!!! Especially with peanut butter on pancakes!!!
I noticed that missleigh carries it at her online vegan store: http://www.cosmosveganshoppe.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=JLH&Category_Code=GFF&Product_Count=10

What nutrients does it have? I'll have to check into it. Trying to cut out everything refined.

Does it actually taste like honey though?

I looked into importing it here, but too expensive unfortunately....

:(

It actually tastes very much like honey. Which is amazing since the ingredients are only brown rice syrup, chicory syrup, maple syrup, natural flavors.

It's a natural, unrefined sweetener. Not much in the way of nutrients, though. :)

It says it's macrobiotic....what does that mean exactly?

[missleigh]

I don't know very much about macrobiotic diets, only that they are usually vegan and rely heavily on rice and other grains. I suppose the brown rice syrup is a macrobiotic approved sweetener?

[silverfire]

Hmm.. I'd love to try this stuff, next time we are researching new producst, I think I'll ship some of this in.

I do miss honey, though maple syrup is awsome in it's own right!

[SallyK]

IMO, this stuff is better than maple syrup! I had some again tonight on leftover pancakes. I'm totally hooked!

I like to take some balsamic vinegar, 1tsp olive oil, 1tsp Just Like Honey, pinch of thyme, pinch of basil, shake and pour. It's a nice dressing in a pinch and the JLH really balances the tartness of the vinegar.

And I like it in tea when I'm sick :)

Great stuff. I've been using it ever since missleigh recommended it to me. :up:

[lijahbaby]

Well, I supose I'll have to buy it now. I have been so curious about it for a while. I never liked plain honey but I loved honey mustard.
