Acclaimed chef and restaurateur, Rick Bayless, knows a thing or two about all-natural organic ingredients. They’re a big reason his authentic Mexican recipes have such an undeniable spirit and freshness. Not only do dishes made with organic ingredients taste better, they’re better for you. That’s why Rick insists on using Organic Blue Agave.

“I’m all about all-natural. So whenever I’m cooking up chipotle glazed ribs or just kicking back with a refreshing margarita, I reach for Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Blue Agave. It’s fresh, all-natural and distinctly delicious.” – Rick Bayless
