Well, maple syrup looks rather like clear honey but it’s not made by base. It’s produced from the plant fluid or sap inside the maple tree and that makes maple syrup a very natural product. Maple syrup is a thick golden sweet testing liquid that can be bought in bottles or jars and poured onto food such as waffles and ice cream or used in the baking of cakes and pastries. It contains no preservations or added ingredients and it provides a healthy alternative to refined sugar. Let’s just talk a bit about the maple tree itself which is where maple syrup comes from. So there are many species of maple tree and they will grow without fertilizer in areas where there is plenty of moisture in the soil. However, they will only do this if another important criterion is fulfilled, which is that the must-have full of partial sun exposure during the day and very cool nights. And I’ll talk more about that in a minute. There are only certain parts of the world that provide all these conditions. One is Canada, and by that I’m in all parts of Canada and the other is the northeastern states of North America. In these areas, the climate suits the trees perfectly. In fact, Canada produces over two tiles of the rose maple syrup, which is why the five-pointed maple leaf is a Canadian symbol and has featured on the flex since 1964. So, how did maple syrup production begin? Well, long before Europeans settled in these parts of the world, the indigenous communities had started producing maple sugar. The bored holes in the trunks of maple trees are used containers made of the tree trunk to collect the liquid sap as it poured out. As the ware unable to keep the liquid for any length of time, they didn’t have storage facilities in those days. They boiled the liquid by placing peaches of the rock that had become scratching hot from the sun into the sap. They did this until it turned into sugar and the ware then able to use this to sweeten their food and drinks. that time.

Well, maple syrup looks rather like clear honey, but it's not made by bees. It's produced from the plant fluid or sap inside the maple tree, which makes maple syrup a very natural product. Maple syrup is a thick, golden, sweet-tasting liquid that can be bought in bottles or jars and poured onto food such as waffles and ice cream or used in the baking of cakes and pastries. It contains no preservatives or added ingredients, and it provides a healthy alternative to refined sugar. Let's talk a bit about the maple tree itself, which is where maple syrup comes from. There are many species of maple tree, and they will grow without fertilizer in areas where there is plenty of moisture in the soil. However, they will only do this if another important criterion is fulfilled, which is that they must have full or partial sun exposure during the day and very cool nights. I'll talk more about that in a minute. There are only certain parts of the world that provide all these conditions. One is Canada, and by that, I mean all parts of Canada, and the other is the northeastern states of North America. In these areas, the climate suits the trees perfectly. In fact, Canada produces over two-thirds of the world's maple syrup, which is why the five-pointed maple leaf is a Canadian symbol and has featured on the flag since 1965. So, how did maple syrup production begin? Well, long before Europeans settled in these parts of the world, the indigenous communities had started producing maple sugar. They bored holes in the trunks of maple trees and used containers made from the tree trunk to collect the liquid sap as it poured out. As they were unable to keep the liquid for any length of time, they didn't have storage facilities in those days. They boiled the liquid by placing pieces of rock that had become scorching hot from the sun into the sap. They did this until it turned into sugar, and they were then able to use this to sweeten their food and drinks at that time.
