What it is

Pure organic maple syrup is a natural sweetener made from the sap of maple trees, primarily sugar, red, or black maple trees. The sap is collected in early spring and then boiled to evaporate most of the water, concentrating the sugars and creating the syrup's distinct flavor and color.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use maple syrup primarily as a sweetener and flavoring agent. Its rich, distinct taste makes it a popular choice for breakfast foods like pancakes and waffles, as well as in baked goods, candies, and beverages.

Health notes

Maple syrup is recognized as safe by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is primarily composed of sugars, providing carbohydrates for energy. While it contains some minerals and antioxidants, these are present in small amounts. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated maple syrup and its components.

Allergen info

Maple syrup is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also naturally gluten-free.
