Hi Andrea and whoever may read this,
my daughter is in Dallas on a student’s exchange. She has a rather severe fructose malapsorption problem and we need a shop (online or other) where we can buy alternative products, such as mayonnaise without sugar/sweeteners, bread, maggi cubes (broth), and so on.
Sitting in Germany I have difficulties finding such a shop. So maybe you could help me with a name or an adress? It does not even need to be near Dallas, any place where we do not have to cross borders and customs offices would do.
I would appreciate help
best wishes
Rose Marie

hm… I think you may have had agave without knowing it – if you’ve had tequilla =)

Thanks for the nice review! I had a bottle of agave nectar that I used up but never replenished. I thought it had a specific taste. I didn’t use it on drinks but did enjoy a little n toast :)

I’ve been using an agave/maple syrup mix that I got at TJ’s. Not bad. Not bad at all. I do want to try raw honey, though!
