What it is

Organic birch sap is the clear, slightly sweet liquid drawn from birch trees, primarily in the spring. It is collected by tapping the trees and is then typically filtered and sometimes pasteurized.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use it as a natural sweetener and a base for beverages, often marketed as a healthier alternative to water or other sweetened drinks. It can also be found in some functional beverages and health-focused products.

Health notes

Organic birch sap is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains natural sugars and some minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar natural plant extracts, but specific evaluations for birch sap are not widely publicized. Evidence on significant health benefits or risks at typical consumption levels is limited.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Birch sap is derived from trees and does not contain gluten.
