What it is

Maple sugar is a sweetener made from the sap of maple trees, primarily sugar maple, red maple, and black maple. The sap is boiled to evaporate most of the water, leaving behind crystallized sugar. It has a distinct maple flavor and a light brown color.

Why it's used

Maple sugar is used as a natural sweetener and flavoring agent in a variety of foods. It is often found in baked goods, cereals, granola bars, and desserts where its unique flavor is desired. It can also be used as a topping for pancakes and waffles.

The WHO has noted that added sugars should be reduced in the diet. JECFA has evaluated maple syrup and maple sugar, and has established specifications for their identity and purity.
