What it is

Organic maple sugar is a sweetener made from the sap of maple trees, primarily sugar, red, or black maple trees. The sap is boiled to evaporate most of the water, leaving behind crystallized sugar. It is then processed into a granulated sugar.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic maple sugar as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer. Its distinct maple taste makes it popular in baked goods, cereals, chocolate, and nut butters.

Health notes

Organic maple sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Like other sugars, it provides calories and carbohydrates. Excessive intake of any added sugar can contribute to health issues. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sweeteners, but no specific numeric limits are noted here.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Maple sugar is derived from tree sap and does not contain gluten.
