Where to buy pure maple syrup

I like this pure maple syrup from Butternut Mountain Farm.

Don’t confuse pure maple syrup with maple-flavored syrup, pancake syrup, breakfast syrup, and other similar products. These syrups are generally less expensive than pure maple syrup, but they are made from unhealthful ingredients. Be sure the product is labelled “maple syrup”.

Is pure maple syrup a healthy food?

Pure maple syrup contains some B vitamins, as well as potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese, and iron, and is better than most other sweetener options, but it is still a concentrated sweetener and should be used sparingly.

Different varieties of maple syrup

Pure maple syrup is usually categorized as light or dark. Lightness or darkness of color indicate the lightness or darkness of flavor.

How do you use pure maple syrup?

Pure maple syrup is generally used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, and French toast, but I recommend these healthier toppings.

Pure maple syrup can also be used to replace sugar in baked goods. When doing so, reduce the amount by one quarter and slightly reduce other liquids in the recipe.
