What it is
Dried maple syrup is a powdered form of maple syrup, made by removing water from liquid maple syrup. It retains the characteristic flavor of maple syrup and is produced from the sap of maple trees, primarily sugar, red, or black maple trees.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dried maple syrup as a sweetener and flavoring agent. Its powdered form makes it convenient for dry mixes, such as cake, cookie, and cupcake mixes, and it's also used in cereals and processed meats like bacon and sausages to add a sweet and smoky maple flavor.
Health notes
Dried maple syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is primarily a source of sugar, and like other sugars, excessive consumption can contribute to health issues. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated maple syrup, but specific evaluations for the dried form are less common. Evidence regarding health effects is largely based on the consumption of sugars in general.
Allergen info
Dried maple syrup is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
