Fair For Life Fair Trade Certified Pure Organic Maple Syrup

Pure maple syrup is a natural sweetener made from the sap of maple trees, primarily sugar, red, or black maple trees. The sap is collected by tapping the trees and then boiled to evaporate most of the water, concentrating the sugars and creating its distinct flavor and color. The process is done in sugarhouses, often using large evaporators.

Maple syrup is primarily used as a sweetener in a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in breakfast items like pancakes, waffles, and oatmeal, but also used in baked goods, sauces, glazes, and marinades. Its natural sweetness and distinct flavor profile make it a popular choice for adding richness and depth.

Maple syrup is recognized as a natural sweetener. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it a food ingredient. While it contains some minerals and antioxidants, it is primarily composed of sugars. The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. Excessive intake of any added sugar can contribute to health concerns.
