Gina,

Thank you for the props, I really appreciate it. Let me know how it works with agave nectar. I used honey because it was thick and sticky and I wanted the nougat to bind. And I so wish there was a raw maple syrup. But I don’t see it coming on the horizon anytime soon.

Keep in touch,
Teri

Hey Teri.. thanks for the info. I was under the impression that cocoa powder had to be processed and that cacao was raw. I recently took a cooking class where I was told that the nutrition in cocoa is not bio-available because of this process. I’m new to experimenting with the true meaning of a raw food diet. (that is, I am finally researching it rather than just eating it). There’s a lot of info out there. So, is there no way of getting raw maple syrup?

I’m about to try this recipe with agave. I have to watch my sugar intake.

I eat at least 70% raw, but haven’t totally committed to it. Again, I really appreciate you commenting. Love the Daily Raw Cafe!!
