Maple Syrup

Maple Syrup is a natural sweetener made by boiling down the sap of maple trees, widely used in North American cuisine for pancakes, baking and glazing. It is high in simple sugars, providing about 60g of sugar per 100g, and is prized for its characteristic caramel-like flavor. Nutrition-wise, it supplies little protein or fiber but does provide small amounts of minerals such as manganese, copper and potassium; it also contains some plant compounds with mild antioxidant activity, so it can be a flavorful occasional alternative to refined sugar when used sparingly.
