Maple Syrup
Maple syrup
It is the sap that is partially refined from the maple tree. And is only produced in North America and Canada. Make sure you buy organic pure Maple syurp and not “maple flavoured syrup” as this not maple syrup at all! The more refined it is the more nutrients it looses, so try to get B grade maple syrup (or at least organic) which is high in manganese, calcium and zinc which are beneficial to the immune system, and has antioxidant qualities. Better for you then refined white sugar, so try this as a replacement to tea or coffee and due to its rich flavour you shouldn’t need as much. Also use in place of honey in meals and enjoy the flavour.
