Does anyone use any organic sugar when they bake or cook? What is your favorite organic ingredient to use when you cook?

some sweeteners to consider:

stevia

agave nectar

date water (soak dates overnight in pure water, and save the water for a light, spritzy sweetener)

bananas

pineapple juice (great in smoothies, desserts where a fruity, sweet taste is needed for a touch of sweetness)

dates

also, (and this was my approach, for the most part....i learned to enjoy the natural flavors of foods...not everything has to be overly- sweet or overly- salty...and then i found i really don't need a lot of sweeteners...i never use stevia...never have (except once in coffee at TJ's sampler bar before going RAW), and i have almost stopped using agave...i am learning to evolve in RAW). for 'sweeteners' i use dates, raisins, other fruits...
