Organic Maple Water

Organic maple water is the sap collected from maple trees, primarily sugar, red, or black maple trees. It is tapped from the tree in late winter or early spring and collected before it is boiled down to make maple syrup. The water is then filtered and can be bottled as is or lightly processed.

Manufacturers use maple water as a natural, low-calorie beverage base and a light sweetener. Its subtle maple flavor makes it suitable for plant-based beverages, fruit juices, and drink mixes. It can also be used in smoothies or as a hydrating drink on its own.

Maple water is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains minerals and electrolytes, though in small amounts. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated maple sap products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming maple water at typical dietary levels.
